Ping default gateway resulted in request timed out 100% loss
Boggin:
This article shows you how to set up a static IP address in the computer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19249/how-to-assign-a-static-ip-address-in-xp-vista-or-windows-7/
The example is for the LAN but the same steps apply to Wireless and you would enter your own Subnet Mask and IP address.
The example IP address in the article if applied to you could assign an IP address within the DHCP range and if DHCP assigned that address to another device then you would have a conflict and no Internet connection.
You will need to log into the router and check to see the DHCP range the router uses and then change it so it has a maximum as your range starts from 192.168.1.1 and then you can use one after the max.
e.g. - My own router uses 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.199 with the Default Gateway being .254
On that router I have set up a static IP address in the router for my printer at .200 which is outside of the range.
You can also set up a computer with a static IP address within/outside of the DHCP range in the router.
When you set it as an IP address within the DHCP range, it is classed as a Reserved IP address and DHCP will not assign that IP address to any other device, but this does not affect the ISP's external IP address.
This is how I do it in my Billion 7800N but your router will have similar settings and the MAC address is listed as the Physical Address in ipconfig /all.
Where the digits are separated by dashes in ipconfig /all you use : when entering the MAC address in the router.

If you have any problems then I suggest you take it to where that guy set it up for you, but a static IP address either set up in your router or in the computer should stop the DHCP problem where Windows is assigning that APIPA address - but if DHCP is continually failing to assign your computer with an IP address otherwise, then the router could be goosed or you need to update/reinstall your Network adapter drivers.
Don't use Device Manager to update your drivers as Windows usually only has older ones.
However, before setting up a static IP address, run a cmd prompt as an admin and enter -
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ipv4 reset resetlog.txt
You could also add the ipconfig cmds of
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /registerdns
shutdown /r /t 00
Reboot the computer a few times to see if it still connects or if you still end up with loss of connectivity and you have that 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address.

Thanks for the shield up link
I tested after changing modem settings by myself.
I have changed the admin pw.
I have enabled unpn
I have enabled SIP, with firewall already enabled.
after doing all this , i went to shield up, now all common ports are shown stealthy. Happy about it. Now when i boot my computer there was no hack of dns number. I do not know much about SIP settings.
I will also look for any other security guard to save me from these attacks. Ok.
I already reported the 169.... matter to my ISP and it is in the process.
since every body is having different modem, but one ISP, there is no identical cure. They say.
But , i told them to atleast release a safe guidelines, like changing pw etc etc..
What is risk of file sharing in the group , we select. there are default selection and i disabled the printer as additional one.please.
How the device information, which should be identical if i connect to any computer, is now different from the previous configuration device info. Is it because, the configurer would instead of manual correction, would have saved the cfg file and just saved that file to overwite. I do not think that is possible. I will tell the major difference in my next post
Boggin:
I've never come across SIP in a router before so I would have to Google that.
In Change advanced sharing settings I just have those at their default settings.
Are you still getting the 169. IP address ?
jraju:
No. I do not get that address. I am now being shown the user ip address.
SIP, i have enabled has this meaning
(WARNING: If You enabled SPI, all traffics initiated from WAN would be blocked, including DMZ, Virtual Server, and ACL WAN side.)
Hence, i again disabled this and will see the result in port, to look for any change in stealthy status
Boggin:
That sounds okay for the SIP.
Have you updated your Network adapter drivers ?
