Hey everyone I've got a problem that I can't figure out for the life of me. I have a Dell Dimension 8200 and I am trying to connect to the internet through my LAN and the CNET PRO200WL PCI FAST ETHERNET card keeps reverting back to its default ip address configuration. I have gone through and manually entered the the ip address and the thing still gives me the 169.XXX.XXX.XXX the factory gave it. I would also like to note that the card is working, the lights are coming on and the hardware is being recognized by the computer. Also, it is sending/receiving packets. Does anyone know where the problem is with this thing or how to fix it? Any help would be great. Thank you so much! Clint
