What does an assigned IP address 169.254.0.12 indicate?

The computer has been configured for the DHCP but it cannot connect to the current DHCP server. The moment that you see the 169, you can already guess that this means bad IP address.

When you get this type of code, this means that you will not have the ability to access the internet for the meantime. The best solution to this problem is to switch off your router. Turn it on again after 30 seconds just to see if the problem is already resolved. If not, you may need to contact your internet service provider (ISP) so that you will get an actual solution.
