[QUOTE="askmark, post: 715931, member: 55081"] If your IP changed to 169.254.x.x then it sounds like your PC couldn't get an address from your DHCP server (usually your router performs this role in a home network). Windows has a feature, called APIPA (Automatic Private Internet Protocol Addressing) which basically means it will automatically give itself an IP (starting with 169.254) until it can get a proper one from your DHCP server.
