Why does my WRT54g sometimes give me a 169.254 address???

I have a WRT54G with firmware v1.01.0, Sep. 14, 2006. I've got an Apple G5 attached to it through one of the hardwired ethernet ports, connecting via DHCP. Once in a while, I'll get an address like 169.254.236.186 and can't connect. I have another Mac attached through a linksys wireless to ethernet bridge, and that one gets this kind of address all the time, needing to "renew DHCP lease" every couple of hours, to get a normal 192.168 address back. Can someone tell me how to fix this? Why does it give out such weird addresses? Mike Levin

When the computer fails or face the problem to get the IP from router automatically, then it will assign 169.254.x.x IP. Check the DHCP setting on wireless router and ensure you assigned big enough DHCP IP range. Also you can take a look on this wireless router configuration help..

  • Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear then disappear?

    Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear but then disappear? When I open a window the scrollbar is sometimes there for a just few seconds. If I select it within a few seconds and use it everything works fine. If I don't use it, it disappears and I can't get it back. How do I get the scroll bar back? Why won't the scrollbar show up at all on web pages?

    It's a feature which is supposed to enhance your interface with your Mac and its operating system on screen. It is a "visual aid" that is meant to remove on screen clutter.
    You can go to 'system prefs/ click general/ click 'Show scroll "Always button"
    There you go

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up?

    Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up?  It only happens sometimes, but also happens spontaneously.  21' iMac 2011 model.  It just started recenlty after a new firmware update from apple.  Any advice or reasons why would be appreciated.

    boot to lion recovery and run verify/repair on the hard drive. verify will say: appears to be okay OR needs to be repaired. No matter what outcome, you will repair anyways (as it will do some updating on the volume)
    Process: hold command R during startup/ wait till you see mac os utility (might have to select english as the main language first) then disk utility/ select macintosh HD on the left, and then verify/repair on the right bottom side. Cheers!

  • Why does my iPhone 5 give random chimes?  I have all notifications, etc., turned off.  Seems to be on reason for this.

    Why does my iPhone 5 give random chimes?  I have all notifications, location services, etc., turned off. 

    I had the exact same problem with my iPhone 4. I would select the song I was wanting to play and it would load for a second, then simply shuffle to the next. It did this with almost my entire iPod. So, I synced it with my computer and it's copy of my music, and presto, my music played perfectly. So, I would reccomend trying that. Hope this helped!!

    Why does "Find Friends" sometimes show a big, purple circle around the friend I'm locating?  Not the small dot that *is* the friend, but a larger radius...

  • Why does the scroll sometimes not work?

    I know this question has been posted before, but my problem is slightly different. I have synpatics touchpad with my laptop. Sometimes, the touchpad scrolling does not work, but my actual wireless mouse scrolling works. Sometimes my wireless mouse scrolling does not work, but my touchpad scrolling works. Why does this happen? The problem itself is not consistent.
    The scrolling usually stops suddenly. Scrolling works perfectly fine for a webpage, but then it stops working during the middle of my scrolling. This problem started to bug me.
    The problem still exists with Firefox reinstalled and without add-ons.

    Does this happen on another browser? (eg. Chrome, IE)

  • Why does a bar sometimes appear below the Firefox icon in my tray?

    Why does a thick bar appear under the Firefox icon in my tray. I cannot correlate its appearance to anything I'm doing online.

    Try to reinstall Firefox.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 32.0.1: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Why does ST03n appear to give conflicting stats?

    Ok, so I'm looking at the month of May in ST03n
    Workload Overview for the month says:
    average % DB time is 61.6%,
    average % Roll wait time is 14.1%
    If I look at Time Profile and work out the averages manually for the same month
    average % DB time is 57.92%
    average % Roll wait time is 16.91%
    More of a rhetorical question really but why does different areas of ST03n report the same thing differently?
    Which is accurate? Which is correct?

    When you put it like that, that makes sense!
    Ok so for instance (just to make sure I'm understanding correctly!) if I take the top 100 transactions in terms of number of dialog steps and calculate the average response times for those transactions - is that a more accurate representation of actual response time vs the average response time given under Workload Overview?
    Because for yesterday they're very different (Work.Over.  0.427 secs vs Trans,Pro.  0.974 secs)
    I appreciate your time on this.  thank you.

  • Why does "Date Created" sometimes show dashes instead of a date?

    My finder shows four dashes ("----") for the "date created" on a large percentage of my files. When I look at the properties of those files, there are "Created" dates on them. Some of the files are .PDF, some are .doc (I haven't checked for .xls or .txt files). Why does this happen, and what can I do to fix it so the "date created" is in the finder window?
    Thanks!

    Perhaps that information isn't in the file. It may have been lost through various copy events on machines that did not recognize the information or where the information was lost during transfers to and from Windows or Linus servers.

  • Why do port numbers sometimes show on printer's IP address?

    What's the significance of the second address below?  That is, why does Windows list two addresses for the same printer?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Windows discover the device using both the Standard TCP/IP protocol, as well via the WSD protocol using additional network protocols such as Multicasting and the Internet Printing Protocol, therefore the 2nd device being detected with its hostname and a full URL address.
    You may find more about WSD in the following link:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Services_for_Devices
    You may select any of the listed printers, it will provide the same print capabilities but by using different networking protocols to communicate with the printer.
