I dont think that will help, as the IP addresses are totally different, and
the 169.*** is an address that Windows assigns to itself internally when it

1 Ethernet adapter :



Your laptop.............

Description . . . . . . . . : Portable Add-Ons CardBus Ethernet Adapter
Physical Address. . . . . . : 00-10-A4-D1-1A-DB
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes
IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 169.254.187.101
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0

your server............

desc: realtek RTL8139<a> fast ethernet
Phys address: 00-D0-70-01-6D-E7
DHCP enabled: N
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0


It looks like your subnet mask is different. Try changing that...
