All PC and Servers (DHCP, DNS) were on the same network, and all clients PCs
are XP SP2.

Some users turn off their PC when they leave for the day, and when they come
back next morning, they are getting 169.254.x.x APIPA, to solve the problem,
they have to manually press the repair button in order to get back to our
network.

Some of the clients are not having the problem and some do, is there
something we can resolve? Is there a problem with my DHCP?

Thanks

Check the power setting on the NIC.
