IP address 169.254 or no IP Address
I have a Linksys WRK54G (model with one antenna). I have problem with IP address.
If I enter with DHCP on the adapter, it receives an IP address like 169.254, which is not accepted by the Linksys. If I enter with static IP address the connection is very instable, some times I have to disconnect the USB adapter and connect again, or even disconnect the power of the router, to get an access to Internet. That means the IP address on the adapter is either wrong or empty. The Firmware Version is 1.55.02, May 21 2004, and I believed that there is not update.
The Radio signal appears as excellent, no surprise because the distance between adapter and router is 5 meters and there is only one conventional wall.
I have tried all of the above:
- uninstall and install the router configuration
- enter with WEP with open authentication, and work also without WEP
- change the channel to 11, the beacon interval, RTS, etc.
I did not try to disable the APIPA.I believe the newtork shoud work properly with this as usually (Am I wrong?).
The problem affects not only desktop PCs with wifi adapter but also LapTop with integrated wifi.
I see that many users have the same problem with different Routers of Linksys.
I would appreciate any assistance anyone may offer. Thank you in advance for your time.
only your wirless computer with the adapter cannot get an ip address?or all of the wireless computers?
if your router has a working computer wired then it must connect wirelessly as well.is your wireless adapter linksys as well?
try to update the drivers for your adapter and try to check if other wireless computers also can't grab an ip from your router.. then if not there is really something wrong with the wireless settings of the router

TS3798 How do I stop my ethernet connection assigning itself a 169.254. ... address?
How do I stop my ethernet connection assigning itself a 169.254. ... address? My iMac is connected to a wired network. The DCHP server is set to allocate the iMac the address 192.168.1.2 but the iMac seems to over-ride this and allocate a 169.254 address. How do I stop this please?
Shouldn't be a need to use manual.
First try renewing the DHCP lease. In Network preferences, ensure the location in the top drop-down is set to Automatic, then click on advanced -
Then click on 'renew DHCP lease'. It may help to turn of IPv6, too, as some routers can't handle it yet. -
Cannot connect to internet wirelessly because I get the message "AirPort has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.153.51 and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -
Cant' get my AirPort to sync up with internet. I get the message "AirPort has the self addressed IP address 169.254.231.99 and will not connect to the internet. How do I fix? Thanks.
What broadband router do you have?
What model Time Capsule do you have?
If you changed the system over from another router.. have you rebooted the entire network.. particularly a cable modem.. did you power off for at least 20min..
Tell us some info and we can help. -

Mini connects to internet via cable modem fine.
Want to have ipad connect also but mini Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.210.251 and will not be able to connect to the Internet. How to fix?Hello:
I am a long way from a wi-fi expert, but.....
You need, I think, either a router with wi-fi or an airport (express or extreme). The iPad needs to connect to to a network. In my case, I use an airport express and both my iMac and iPad 2 connect to the Internet through the airport device.

I just got my new Macbook Pro today. When I tried to connect it to my Wi-Fi at home it won't connect. I put in my WEP key correct every time and it keeps saying "Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.74.157 and will not be able to connect to the internet" . I connect my iPod touch to this same Wi-Fi all the time plus my other laptop and my phone and it works fine. Please help !! I use Verizon Fios modem/router.
Hi, it could be that the Router will not allow you onto the network..Reboot, Modem,Router & computer..
Find out the native IP address for your Router & reset the network configs''
Use Keychain Access to Delete all Internet/Router Passwords etc.. Then Roboot.. -

I was watching my ATV3 and it suddenly stopped. When trying to reset things and get my wifi back I get the following message: Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.82.22 and will not be able to connect to the Internet. I do not have clue to what happened or what to do next. Any help is appreciated.
Power-Cycle the modem.... though it looks like your internet services may have gone down.. or something else upstream has gone kaut.

Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.235.119 and will not be able to connect to the Internet.
Reset the TC and make sure it is in the right mode.. ie router if you use a cable pure modem for instance.
Or if you use a router combined modem.. put the TC in bridge mode. -
Wi-Fi has self-assigned IP address 169.254.9.151 and will not be able to connect to the Internet
In trying to setup my AirPort Extreme, it connects to the Internet on ethernetcables to computer but says it is not on WI-FI. I have configured it with all that I casn think of and yet I get, "Wi-Fi has self-assigned IP address 169.254.9.151 and will not be able to connect to the Internet." Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
I did both a soft reset and a hard reset to no avail. PLEASE someone help!!

If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.

Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN.

Hi
I am having problems with my iPad and it looks like it's coming from my iMac because in the Network it says "Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.21.127 and will not be able to connect to the Internet." but I have been connected to the internet from my iPad through my iMac for over six months, it's only since updating to Lion that the problem started. Any help please.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Hello,
A few weeks ago, both my ethernet and my airport were working fine in my dormitory and anywhere I went. Then in my dormitory, the ethernet suddenly stopped working as I was using it. I didn't change any settings, I was not messing arround with anything. It just suddenly stopped! I tried asking for help to the people in the dormitory, but being in a place where no one (in the dormitories and IT technicians) really speaks my language and I don't really speak theirs, doesn't help very much. Plus the fact that they don't really seem to be able to use and fix mac problems. My ethernet cable connection works excllent with any other computer that is connected to it BUT with mine.
Anyways, everything is on automatic the way it should be, but it shows that the self assigned IP address is of 169.254. etc, and it cannot connect to the internet. It happens with both ethernet and airport. With the airport I used to connect perfectly, but now, a few places where I used to connect perfectly won't work anymore, and it shows this same IP address of 169.254.blah.blah. It has been driving me crazy not being able to connect to the internet propperly since it is the only way I can communicate with my family. Could anyone PLEASE help me? I am really desperate here T^T Thank You!!
Regards,
Omar.Try removing all the RAM and putting in new RAM. We had a PowerMac G5 at work that couldn't connect to the Ethernet no matter what we did. I was convinced it was the motherboard/Ethernet connection failure. But after running a couple of hardware tests, it came up with bad RAM. Put in all new RAM, and lo and behold, we have Internet!!
This would explain why multiple computers can connect to an internet connection, but one computer doesn't.
I'm having this problem with my MacBook Pro right now, and will attempt to take out the RAM when I get home to see if it fixes it. I had it at work, and was in the middle of surfing on our Ethernet network, when it suddenly stopped. I just put new RAM in a few weeks ago, so one might have failed. -
How do I get rid of second 169.254.x.x IPv4 address on Windows Server 2008 SP2 x86?
I'm sure this is an obvious one but can't figure it out.
I have a Winserver 2008 Sp2 (x86) DC with a static IP address allocated to its only NIC. It seems to have acquired a second 169.254.x.x address automatically which I can't get rid of and which intermittently causes DNS problems (and possibly other)
problems.

Any ideas as to how this might have happened and how I get rid of it (a simple re-boot doesn't do the job).OK, I followed Syed's instructions. I noticed that under the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ there were two AdaptorGUIDs, but only one of them had any parameters.
I created the IPAutoConfigurationEnabled parameter for both these AdaptorGUIDs with a value of 0 as instructed and re-booted.
Here are the registry entries for the two AdaptorGUIDs:
After re-booting I did another ipconfig /all, and the APIPA address is still there! Here's the ipconfig output:

[it's a different APIPA address this time, but I guess it is randomly allocated].
Any further ideas for me?
