Answer:
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)
Explanation:
This usually means no static IP address is assigned to the computer. Therefore it cannot connect to the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). It thus uses Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)(which usually ranges from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254) to configure itself.
To resolve this, disconnect the computer from the network, assign or change the Static IP and reconnect. Alternately you can reset the Modem/Router.
