Cant change IP Address

[7thSign]

Problem:
I’m unable to connect to the network & internet. (Limited or no connectivity). This Started on Friday 11 July. Did a full system scan (Trend Micro); Uninstalled Nic’s & reinstalled, Updated BIOS; Changed Router to Manual IP address assigning & back again.

• ADSL Router is in working order (I’m able to connect to the Network & Internet with other PC’s)
• Network cables (In working order, double checked each cable)
• Router Assigns automatically IP Addresses (10.0.0.100 Starting Range)
• This is my network connection details

Physical Address: 00-1B-FC-A3-FD-5B
IP Address: 169.254.218.105
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway:
DNS Server:
WINS Server:

maybe try posting this in the Hardware section ....... you're likely to get more responses from there in my opinion I've noticed this section doesn't have much of an 'audience'.

Only thing I can think of is that Windoze's firewall or some other firewall is on and blocking you.
