    169 ip Address, media disconnected, invalid ethernet ip


    Right.

    Note to self. Ask for help. Get partial help fm LogicEarth (thank you - only after suggesting I was quite going slightly mad - smile). Irrespective of self-hosting website non-public - I still didnt get an answer or quick fix for 169 ip address and so forth.

    See? Nobody actually addressed my issue besides the fact that im partially crazy for hosting my own website. Nobody ('cept for Alure thingy), has given an alternative.

    ABSOLUTELY NOBODY addressed the issue of 169 ip and so forth.

    Your stuck , 169 addresses are because there is no DHCP server involved , without DHCP , there's no way for people to look up your IP address to connect to your web page..

    Host your site elsewhere.

    Why would MS IP Address 52.169.23.213 be scanning for exploitable files

    IP address 169 instead of 192

    The latest Windows10 download on 25th Nov 2016 has stopped an ACER-Aspire7736G laptop from accessing the internet. The IP address has been changed to 169 instead of 192. I had it manually changed back but it will not accept this and the next time the
    laptop was switched on it had reverted to 169. The modem has been turned off, reset and checked. This computer which I am working on now uses the same modem and works alright. I am not an expert and cannot do advanced manual changes.
