Sounds like the OS no longer recognizes your NIC. Did you try to reinstall
the NIC drivers?

Hi
Windows defaults to 169.254.165.35 when something is wrong and it can not
obtain a working IP.
In General you can debug the Network Setting of the computer following these
steps.
Step One - Check the Network parameters in the Computer's Device Manager.
Make sure that the drivers are installed correctly; there is No IRQ
conflict, and No Ghost installation. http://www.ezlan.net/faq#ghost
Step Two - Verify Basic network setting in the OS:

If the above two Steps indicates that every thing looks good but
functionally it does not work.
Step Three - Check (and repair if necessary) the Socket Layers, Winsock, and
or refresh the TCP/IP Stack. http://www.ezlan.net/clean#refreshnet
If need to Reinstall; Log to this page it have a lot of links to
instructions for Windows Network Installation -

hi!
jack thank you for your assistant. I know all the setting for my NIC are all
alright no IRQ conflict, and the Device manager says its in working
condition. My problem is I don't know how to configure to reset my IP back to
192.168. X.X. is there any simple tool that I can use to change this
autoconfiguration of IP 169.254.X.X? I got 3 machine running all xp prof and
all of my LAN machine adapted these autoconfiguration IP address 169.254.x.x.
If i run the network diagnostic tool it says my network card failed.
thaks a lot.

Hi! jack I downloaded and install the winsock registry mechanic and scan my
system it repaired some errors but not all of it I need to register. Dont
have budget at the moment to register this tool but if your really recommend
this tool to solve my problem I might try it if it is the only tool to solve
this issue. Is the problem is in my registry? I am not really sure. thanks
again

If all 3 of the PC's connected to the router on your network are now using
169.254.x.x IP addresses, then either a) the router has been configured to
lease out 169.254.x.x IP addresses or b) the router itself has failed in
some way, maybe simply turning it off/on and doing a ipconfig /renew could
fix the problem. Have you reconfigured the router not to use the default
configuration password, if not, it is also an option c) where the router was
hacked and the hacker changed settings to mess with you or use it for
his/her own mischievous/devious purposes.
