troubleshooting advise needed

[Matt]

I having some problems with the network and I'm receiving on the XP machine a private address of 169.x.x.x.

The other machines on the network seem fine, yet I cannot find what's wrong. Any suggestions would be abbreciated. Can you give me a list of ideas?

Could it be a bad network cable?

Could be a bad network cable, bad NIC, bad NIC driver, bad port on your hub
or router...

You have run out of IPs in the DHCP scope?
