|
|
The computer was unable to locate an available Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
|
|
|
The computer is part of a Class C network,
|
|

The computer has been configured with static IP addressing.

The computer is acting as a proxy server for clients on the same subnet.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If you see a 169.254. x.x address, it means that the DHCP server is not reachable. The PC will not work because there is not a router to or from that PC. Troubleshoot this by finding out why the PC cannot see the DHCP server.
Detailed explanation-2: -If no DHCP server is present, devices will get an IP address in the 169.254. x.x range with a 255.255. 0.0 subnet mask.
Detailed explanation-3: -169.254. These addresses are “link local, ‘’ which means packets with these addresses are sent out to the network, but should never be forwarded to other parts of the network. You’ll often see addresses from this range if a device is unable to get an address using DHCP.
