Description:
Unable to contact a DHCP server. The Automatic Private IP
Address 169.254.174.8 will be assigned to dial-in clients.
Clients may be unable to access resources on the network.

For dial-up clients (I have only 1 or 2 left) I configure RRAS to issue IP Addresses from a static pool instead of using my DHCP server. Maybe this will help you too
