Answer : limited or no connectivity

your not getting a DHCP address your getting an APIPA... which means it isn't reaching the DHCP server which might be causing the other error..

several things
did you use the same cable to test with ? if not use the same cable see if you can still connect fine...


1. Is your windows time and date correct on the workstation ?

2. Go to the command prompt and do ipconfig /release then ipconfig/renew what happens ? do you still get 169.xxx if so continue...

3. If you go to your network connections then the properties of the connection then tcp/ip properties do you have any numbers in the ip address sections even if you have it selected for DHCP. do you have an alternate configuration listed ?

4. Try assigning a static IP address can you now ping the default gateway and other pc's on the network ? if not then you may your probably looking at an issue with the network card.
