I do believe this is the IP address that windows gives itself by default
when 1).It cannot find or contact DHCP server to get this IP information, or
2).IP settings are not set manually. Try setting them manually to see if the
problem is with your nic. If this works try uninstalling the NIC, then
re-install it using the latest drivers. I have had this happen before, but
first thing you should do is check the cable to make sure it is not the
problem. hope this helps.

Subject: Very Strange DHCP Issue
Windows 2000 AD Domain with all Windows 2000 Professional clients.
AD-Integrated DNS and DHCP serving IPs to the clients.
One particular client doesnt seem to want to get its IP address from the
pool.
When I set the local connection (Linksys 10/100 NIC) to get IP/DNS info from
DHCP, it gets the address 169.254.183.165 (my pool is 192.168.0.xxx).
No other clients are having this issue, all of them renew IPs from the pool
and can browse the network as expected.
This is a brand new one on me, where can I even begin to look up the answer
to something like this? Anyone experience anything similar?
No where in our network settings is the IP address this client gives itself,
and permissions are all correct for the client.
Thanks
