Re: need help

A bit more clarification.

I have previously observed a host trying to "renew" an auto-configuration address such as 169.254.157.242, rather than performing a DHCP Discovery (i.e.: trying to acquire a new IP address assignment from a readily available DHCP server).

I am suggesting you configure your host with a static IP address, to resolve your primary concern "i cant access the main page", and that while there, you verify the DHCP server configuration.

When I encountered this issue, I found that the host stopped trying to renew the auto configuration address, and pursued a new lease from the DHCP server, after returning from a static configuration, back to a DHCP client configuration.

The host (computer) may be trying to renew the 169.254.157.242 address that now resides in the system's registry.

If you are certain that the router uses the 192.168.2.0 network, and has an address of 192.168.2.1, configure your host with a static IP address of 192.168.2.x, where x is a number between 2 and 253, and is unique (not assigned elsewhere on your network). This would be adequate to establish administrative access to the router.

You could then verify that the DHCP server in the router is enabled, configured appropriately etc.

Then, re-configure the host to acquire an IP address via DHCP.
