msft 169.254.173.250 IP address

Hi Guys,

I have done abit of googling but to no avail...but does anyone have any
information about this IP address on Windows XP please?

The PC is doing DHCP straight away but I am still seeing traffic sourced
from this IP address on a wireshark trace, which is kinda weird. Appears to
me like the PC assigns itself this IP address right before assigning the IP
address from the DHCP server.

PS: There is no delay what so ever from the DHCP server and the client does
NOT timeout on DHCP.

Thanks in advance,

Sadiq
