The IP address in my TCP/IP control panel is: 169.254.163.209 I am told that this shows myPulsar is not picking up a DHCP broadcast, i.e. it's not being assigned an IP address. Do I need to fiddle with the domain name server address section of the control panel to solve this issue, or should I fill in an IP address for the Mac to search for??
