ipconfig

[John]

My XP pro now has Autoconfiguration IP 169.254.233.135.
Normally it says IP configuration with the IP that my
router issues it. I cannot access the internet or release
this autoconfig? HELP!

John,

This simply says that you are not getting an address from the autoconfiguration
(DHCP) server. Since your internet gateway is NOT on subnet 169.254.0.0/16, you
are not going to get service.

Please describe your network in some detail, and we'll try to help you figure
where the problem might be.
