169.something is self assigned when there is no reply from the DHCP server. Since I can't tell what PC, OS and more all I can share is that 169.something tells you something. Not much but something.
Hi!
I recently came from holyday, and turned on the PC. It said I had internet but when I went on chrome, not internet access. It says; DNS_PROBE_FINISHED and DNS_PROBE_STARTED
All my other PC's are working fine.
Here is what it says when i type "ipconfig" on CMD:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection* 4:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected

I tried:
-cmd: dnsflush
-cmd: c:\netsh winsock reset
-cmd ipconfig /releasel
ipconfig /all
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
netsh int ip set dns
-Restore PC a few days back.
Nothing helped.
Really need help!
