Are you using internet connection sharing via one of the ME boxes?
You might be getting you windows-style default IP address from one of
them.

I assume you usually have a 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x as your IP
address, right? That's what would be coming from the router's DHCP.

I, too have a 3400c in a mixed environment with Win 2000 boxes (is ME
really 2000 without the steroids? -joke) and when internet connection
sharing can't find a "Real" IP address, it gives itself that
169.154.x.x address.

Can you access the router via a browser? Make sure it "sees" the
3400c. My router can with software for the PCs that will give a list
of all attached nodes (the wireless router, that is).

Hope something here helps,

Ted

am using win m.e. on 3 of the pcs connected to the network. Coincidence?"
