Sounds like the computer you're trying to connect to your wi-fi router is set up with a static IP address that is being reserved by your router for DHCP. To resolve, make sure your router has "DHCP" (dynamic host configuration protocol) turned on. Make sure the computer you're trying to connect to your router is set up to allow the DHCP server in your router to set the computer's IP address and DNS server address. You can find instructions to enable DHCP in your router's user manual or by searching online. You can find instructions for setting your computer's wireless adapter to allow the DHCP server in your router to set the computer's IP and DNS addresses here: http://www2.wolfson.cam.ac.uk/files/IT/Settings_for_DHCP_for_Windows.pdf
If your on Windows XP open Run and type cmd, when the command prompt opens type:
ipconfig /renew (please note the space between ipconfig and /
If you using Windows Vista:
Press The Windows button. Type CMD Right Click CMD.EXE and Select Run as administrator Select Continue when prompted by User Account Control Type ipconfig /renew and it should release and renew IP address.
I think you mean that you configured your router at 198.168.254.254
in that case i would go to your network properties of windows.
set a fixed ip of 198.168.254.x (x= anything between 1 and 253)
set your gateway fixed at 198.168.254.254.
then open the explorer and type the adress of your router. Now you should be able to change the ip of your router and if needed enable DHCP.
if you enable dhcp go to your computer and set it do dynamic adress or get adress from dhcp.
or
set your ip settings of your computer as of it was before.
Go to user tools counter. Go to settings. Go to interface. You should see the IP address settings window. Some Ricohs have auto DHCP. Usually I turn that on to get it to recognize your router. Make sure your gateway address is inserted as well.
If your laptop has a wireless card built in - or external, you will be able to get the wireless signal. You need to open your wireless dialog - Start > My Network Places > View Network Places
It seems that you said your computer gets the ip address from your router,, which means thru DHCP of the router but if you look at the DHCP settings of your wireless card inside your computer ---the DHCP is OFF -- check your ipconfig/all command as shown in your problem too,,, your wless card does not accept the new IP which comes from your router --as DHCP is OFF on your wless card and sticks with the old ip address whereas the router maintains a new ip for your computer in its table and a mismatch occurs and you loose the internet connection ,,,,thats why repair works and then again the IP changes in the router for your computer and your computer's wless card lags behind and use the old ip adress ..... DHCP--- IS DYNAMIC , WHICH MEANS IT RENEWS THE IP address after some time and you computer gets stuck to the old one ,,, hence mismatch. "you make the DHCP -ON on your wless card too. it will be fine."
this is not a fault with the xbox 360 rather it is a problem you have with your internet connection or router. you'll have to check or possibly renew dhcp (the protocol that issues ip addresses on your router if you use one) or contact your isp about it.
First of all, how is your network configured? Are you behind a router? What's it's IP adress, does it act as a DHCP server?
If so try to set up a new network connection and put everything to automatic.. When the routers acts as a DHCP server it will give the PlayStation 3 an IP adress. DNS however is something else. DNS is a system that allows you to browse by a website or hosts name. For example: it allows you to type www.google.com in your browser instead of it's IP.
DNS is essential for Internet. Your router should be your DNS server and your router itself also needs to know a DNS server, this would be the server from your ISP. All these settings are automatically configured via DHCP.
