So this is intended more for long-time experienced PC technicians: I did hours of research and tried a lot to solve this problem: My PC can't reach the DHCP server, which is why it now simply uses the IP address "169.254.184.220" as automatically takes. I have connected my ethernet cable to the laptop because it has wireless Wi-Fi and I can tap it with the PC with the ethernet cable. But why isn't the DHCP server free? On the PC I did EVERYTHING in the command prompt with administrator rights:
ipconfig / flushdns
ipconfig / release
ipconfig / release6
ipconfig / renew
ipconfig / renew6
ipconfig / flushdns
ipconfig / registerdns
NOTHING works… So I did that on the laptop and I got this message:
ipconfig / renew
Windows IP configuration…
The following error occurred when updating the "Ethernet" interface: A connection to the DHCP server can't be established. Request was canceled due to time overwrite.
No operation can be performed on LAN connection * 1 until the medium is activated.
No operation can be performed on LAN connection * 2 as long as its medium is not connected.
WHAT THE EXCELLENCE SHOULD I DO I HAVE NO MORE TIME!
Have you ever tested another operating system e.g. Linux?
You have to activate the network bridge on the notebook.

No how does that work
Now it says "You must select at least two LAN or high-speed Internet connections that are not used for sharing the Internet connection in order to create a network bridge"
You can create a 2 portion on your hard drive and then install Linux using a stick.
Your laptop is not a router. You would have to configure it as such first.

Why not just use a WLAN stick on the PC instead of LAN?
It worked, now I don't know what:
On the laptop, I went in here: Control Panel> Network and Internet> Network and Sharing Center> Change adapter settings
And then I activated everything in the sharing options of my wireless Wi-Fi, really everything there was still 6 boxes free for the services and I activated them all and then 10 minutes later my PC got internet again. BUT!
The Ethernet STILL HAS THE WRONG IP ADDRESS 169.254 …
Still it works… I don't understand
Don't have any
These things are available on the net for a few euro. Save you trouble! If the network bridge configuration on the laptop doesn't show the Wi-Fi controller, then I don't have any further advice.
If you still have an old DSL router, it could possibly be configured as a router.
Thank you very much for the next time if the poop happens again 🙏
