RE: Network Connections screwed up - need to format?
That IP will come up whenever the operating system detects a network and there is no dhcp server detected, which means, there is no device or network providing IP addresses, so the OS will use a default one (169.x.x.x). Sometimes it work.
In this case, the DHCP server would be the router.
