I work for a high-speed cable ISP. Several times, when a customer either upgrades to XP or installs a full version, when they try to renew their IP address, they get an IP Autoconfiguration Address of 169.x.x.x. What is the procedure to get by this in XP?

"Repair the connection" in the lan settings is the best but when that fails--uninstall tcp/ip in the properties of that LAN connection. That works most often.
