today, i migrated my office from one internet provider to another. I had to
readdress our network to their ip range.

In doing so i reconfigured our firebox1000 firewall systems, server, and
dhcp.

in the middle of this the main server indicated it had teh
win32/agobot.rz.host virus, but CA Inoculate had cleaned it.

the server took a significant amount of time to just login to do anything,
it stuck at "applying your personal settings"

upon login I am unable to get to any internet location
the server will say connecting to site (and resolve the ip address) but
nothing will happen.

i also checked the server address by doing a traceroute
it resolved the server to a 169.x.x.x address even though it is configured
with a proper internet address.

other computers on the network are able to connect to this server and it's
shares.

i am guessing this 169.. at the server is part of the problem as is the
virus, I also ran trend and it said it was clean..
from a workstation the server resolves to the correct ip address?

can anyone decipiher this??

Thanks,

Ed

If you are getting 169.254.x.x (APIPA) IP address the NIC is configured to
get an address from DHCP and is unable to contact a DHCP server for an
address
You should check your settings if this is supposed to have a statically
assigned address.
