  2. What is a 169 IP Address Error? For a computer to access the internet through a network, it needs to have a valid IP address. The easiest way to make sure this happens seamlessly is through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which is a setting that allows your router to automatically assign an IP address to each device on your network. When your Windows computer isn't able to communicate with the DHCP server, something calledAutomatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) kicks in and assigns the computer an IP address that starts with 169.254. These IP addresses are only useful on local networks, not the internet.
