TCP and IP settings IP configuration
Every host that joins the network will look for a unique node number in
the subnet 169.254.___.___ (i.e. network address is 169.254.0.0,
Subnet mask is 255.255.000.000).
The host will do this by randomly choosing a node number and then
checking to make sure no other host is using that IP address. If the IP
address is already in use, the host will try again with another random IP
number.
It is possible the address is used by a computer which was not switched
on or connected during this verification; in that case you will likely get an
error message on both computers later (when the other computer is
switched on or connected).
APIPA is supposed to be used on a non-routed network (i.e. a network
that will never be connected to other networks or the internet).
