<1> (It is)
<0> ok so that is a problem
<1> Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
<0> any time you see 169
<1> And the problem is... ?
<0> that means that your laptop couldn't reach a dhcp server so it uses the 169 by default
<1> hmmm.. which is what?
<0> your laptop was unable to get an ip address from the cafe
<1> 169?
<1> Any ideas whyy?

<0> (06:57:28) (@{wolfy}) properties
<0> (06:57:44) (@{wolfy}) there should be a radio button for obtain ip address automatically
<0> he said this is a hard wired connection
<1> wolfy - Control Panel is blocked here.
<2> oh i only came in on the end of the convo
<0> ok can you run cmd and do ipconfig
<1> no cmd...
<1> They use one of those function internet cafe software...
<2> get a new computer that u do have access to or, go log a support call with the internet cafe or ur admin
<0> i never been to an internet cafe
<0> i live in the woods
<1> You're lucky.
<1> wolfy - It connected fine a few days ago. Then suddenly, while I was on the net here, I got an error that another computer with the same IP existed on the network.
<1> Eversince - not working.
<0> yes and like i said that sounds like a dhcp error
<1> I see.
<2> this computer with everything disabled is this ur laptop or the pc at the internet cafe
<0> when you were done there the last time it worked did you unplug the network cable while the laptop was still on?
<1> What do you mean "everything disabled"?
<1> I think so...
<1> Not sure.
<2> u saying the control pannel and command propmt are disabled
<1> Why?
<1> Yeah.
<1> At the cafe.
<2> well isnt the problem with ur laptop not working on their adsl connection, y are u playing around with the internet cafe pc, leave that to their support staff
<0> so are you sure that the network cable is active? do you get lights on our NIC when you plug it in?
<1> Yeah, the network cable is active.
<1> My computer recognizes that it's unplugged or plugged.
<2> wolfy, u may find that the ineternet cafe dun run dhcp and all the pcs there are staticly ***igned, to prevent ppl coming in and plugging their own hardware in and getting free internet
<0> yeah that's what i was wondering
<2> u also might find that they run some kind of nac control, preventing un authorised hardware on the wire
<1> So how come I connected a few days ago?
<0> are you allowed to connect there?
<0> is there a sign there that says "plug in your laptop here"
<1> Except I need to download stuff on my computer.
<0> or did you just unplug something else
<1> Plus, I'm paying an hourly rate anyway.
<1> No.
<0> what
<2> what u need to download can u not use a usb key or hard disk
<1> No.
<1> I don't have a USB key.
<0> so do other people plug in their laptops?
<1> No.
<2> well go ask the internet cafe support staff why it isnt working, instead of coming on irc and asking a question about a setup we have no control or setup info about
<0> are you supposed to be able to plug in your laptop?
<1> Don't know. I was able a few days ago, like I mentioned.
<2> ur paying to use their services so get them to fix your problem, if they say u cant do it, then you shouldtnd be doing it regardless whether it worked the other day, maybe they fixed the security hole so u cant do it anymore
<0> you should have prefaced this with "i am trying to use a system in a way other than it was designed to be used"
<0> and i would have told you to pound sand
<1> They're Chinese, they don't understand English... so asking them wouldn't do much good.
