IP address 169.x.x.x

Hi,
I got a used powermac G4 DP 733Mhz. I am trying to connect it DLink Router. When configured with DHCP it shows assigned IP address as 169.x.x.x
Then I can't connect to internet or the router itself
I have another powermac DP 1Ghz(which works fine with same ethernet cable and router.
I tried lot of things so far (spend 4-6 hours trying all combinations DHCP, Manual, Turning on /OFF , resetting Router etc)
Still no luck. It does detect connection. When I remove cable I see "connection down" in the console window.
Powermac doesn't want to give up that stupid IP address 169.x.x.x. Is there any system files it needs ?
I really need help

Hi could be some files, but on Manually, try 1 more than the last number than the other one has.
Say the working one has...
IP: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
Try this one with...
IP: 192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply

HT3466 Airport has self assigned IP address 169.254.153.51 and will not be able to connect to the Internet

Cannot connect to internet wirelessly because I get the message "AirPort has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.153.51 and will not be able to connect to the Internet."

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

My Airpot/Time capsule will not will not connect. It states " AirPort has the self addressed IP address 169.254.231.99 and will not connect to the internet??????l

Cant' get my AirPort to sync up with internet. I get the message "AirPort has the self addressed IP address 169.254.231.99 and will not connect to the internet. How do I fix? Thanks.

What broadband router do you have?
What model Time Capsule do you have?
If you changed the system over from another router.. have you rebooted the entire network.. particularly a cable modem.. did you power off for at least 20min..
Tell us some info and we can help.

IPad Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.210.251 and will not be able to connect to the Internet. How to fix?

Mini connects to internet via cable modem fine.
Want to have ipad connect also but mini Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.210.251 and will not be able to connect to the Internet. How to fix?

Hello:
I am a long way from a wi-fi expert, but.....
You need, I think, either a router with wi-fi or an airport (express or extreme). The iPad needs to connect to to a network. In my case, I use an airport express and both my iMac and iPad 2 connect to the Internet through the airport device.

My Macbook Pro says Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.74.157 and will not be able to connect to the internet.

I just got my new Macbook Pro today. When I tried to connect it to my Wi-Fi at home it won't connect. I put in my WEP key correct every time and it keeps saying "Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.74.157 and will not be able to connect to the internet" . I connect my iPod touch to this same Wi-Fi all the time plus my other laptop and my phone and it works fine. Please help !! I use Verizon Fios modem/router.

Hi, it could be that the Router will not allow you onto the network..Reboot, Modem,Router & computer..
Find out the native IP address for your Router & reset the network configs''
Use Keychain Access to Delete all Internet/Router Passwords etc.. Then Roboot..

Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.82.22 and will not be able to connect to the Internet.

I was watching my ATV3 and it suddenly stopped. When trying to reset things and get my wifi back I get the following message: Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.82.22 and will not be able to connect to the Internet. I do not have clue to what happened or what to do next. Any help is appreciated.

Power-Cycle the modem.... though it looks like your internet services may have gone down.. or something else upstream has gone kaut.

Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.235.119 and will not be able to connect to the Internet.

Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.235.119 and will not be able to connect to the Internet.

Reset the TC and make sure it is in the right mode.. ie router if you use a cable pure modem for instance.
Or if you use a router combined modem.. put the TC in bridge mode.

Wi-Fi has self-assigned IP address 169.254.9.151 and will not be able to connect to the Internet

In trying to setup my AirPort Extreme, it connects to the Internet on ethernetcables to computer but says it is not on WI-FI. I have configured it with all that I casn think of and yet I get, "Wi-Fi has self-assigned IP address 169.254.9.151 and will not be able to connect to the Internet." Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
I did both a soft reset and a hard reset to no avail. PLEASE someone help!!

Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.21.127

Hi
I am having problems with my iPad and it looks like it's coming from my iMac because in the Network it says "Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.21.127 and will not be able to connect to the Internet." but I have been connected to the internet from my iPad through my iMac for over six months, it's only since updating to Lion that the problem started. Any help please.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try unplugging the Apple Tv and restarting and restating your router. You should also check that the Apple Tv is set to use the correct location.

Ip address 169

what is Ip addres sin 169 ? it makes me unable to connect to internet

I attempted to switch to DHCP/NAT mode, but then I get an error message stating "The DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your base station".
If you will reset the AirPort Extreme back to factory default settings, and then set it up again, the AirPort will use the 10.0.1.x IP address range, which will not be in conflict with the 172.16. range provided by the Cisco device.
If it were me, I would power off the Cisco modem and leave it off for 20-30 minutes to allow it to fully reset.
During the time that the modem is powered off, I would reset the AirPort Extreme back to factory default settings, then power it off.
After the modem power down period, power up the modem and let it run for 5 minutes.
Then connect the AirPort Extreme to the modem and power up the Extreme, wait a minute or two, then set up the AirPort Extreme again. Depending on whether the AirPort thinks that the Cisco modem is a modem or router will determine how it will be setup up. If the AirPort winds up in Bridge Mode again, then you can manually change the setting back to DHCP and NAT and the AirPort will use the 10.0.1.x range for IP address assignments.

IP address 169.x.x.x
