Over the last few weeks suddenly the NIC card on my desktop PC
gets a static IP address 169.254.164.39 with a subnet mask
255.255.0.0. Doing ipconfig in the dos window, shows Autoconfig
enabled as ON with the IP address shown above. There is no
network connectivity and the system indicates limited or no
network connectivity.

This computer is connected via a physical LAN to the home
networking hub. The network configuration is setup for DHCP and
other wireless computers connect without a problem.



In addition to Paul's suggestion of a bad network cable, another item
which can cause this problem is a misconfigured firewall. The
computer needs ports 67 & 68 to remain open in order to re-negotiate
the IP lease from the DHCP server. If you have firewall software
installed on your computer, try removing it completely and see if it
helps.

HTH,
