I started to notice issues when i couldnt connect to my wireless network, and infact various network problems cropping up around the house. Just checked my DHCP server and saw a critical error which is as follows
I recently changed the name of the server (pc name) running DNS and DHCP so i wonder if thats messed up some records? Any ideas, laptop is picking up the IP 169.254.193.154Log Name: System
