DHCP Issues. Very strange

All of a sudden out of nowhere I'm having problems with some clients not
being able to obtain an DHCP lease from the server. At first I had thought
that maybe it was a hub issue as I do have two of them and clients are
plugged into either or. But I reloved that by taking a bad client and
switching hubs with same results. I only have 1 DHCP server on my network.
When I go to the bad clients workstations and do an ipconfig /all here's is
what is returned.

I get IP's that are on a 169.254.xx.xx network with a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0. I cannot do an ipconfig /release and obviously cannot do a
renew. I've tried restarting the DHCP client service on the workstations.
Does not help. I can input "static" 192.168.16.xx (my internal network IP)
and no problem. However it appears that when I do this those clients cannot
access http://companyweb. Help!!!
