I just got Internet cable from Time Warner/ EarthLink. For some reason I tried everything that Time Warner and Earthlink techs told me to do but nothing seems to work. I still can't connect to the Internet. For some reason they think it's the IPv4 address since it begins with 169. I did everything the told me to 8 times, but they both give me the run around tell me it's the other's fault. How can I fix this once and for all?
I have no router.
I use cable to connect to the Internet.
Windows Vista
Cable broadband.
1right, HOW do you connect to the internet? which Operating system are you using. did you get a static IP address from your ISP? – None – 2009-08-29T22:11:56.630

1see, in order for us to help you here we need as much information as possible, the type of your internet connection is rather irrelevant, what i want to know now is, whether you're using a wired or a wiredless connection. your IP address is provided by a Router (you don't have one?) or a cable modem. now how do you connect to this device? – None – 2009-08-29T22:39:45.137
right, where is the other end of your network cable plugged in? you obviously do have another computer connected to the internet now since your posting here. – None – 2009-08-29T22:57:24.400
