Am blind? There is NO GATEWAY on above ifconfig.

U kids go all fancy with your DNS u read somewhere and then u don't know how to put it back.

 

[SgtScream]

And what do you think the gateway is?

 

[jsmithepa]

Fortunately this is very easy. Gateway=ALWAYS LAN(side) IP of your NAT device.

 

[SgtScream]

Bringo, the modem.

Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.110.179(Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

OK that is telling me that your DHCP on your router is not working properly, whenever you get a local IP address of 169.254.x.x that is your machine telling you that it is looking for a DHCP server but can't find one. If this is a home machine I'd even disable IPV6 on your LAN card you are never going to need it and working with IPV4 addresses is much easier.

Look on your router settings and check that DHCP is enabled on your LAN connection it will normally default to the 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x range.
