Re: msft 169.254.173.250 IP address

Ignore my previous post, as you have now confirmed DHCP is indeed
breaking. Have you tried another IP phone? Could be the internal
switch in the Phone is behaving a bit dodgy?

Also how is the switch port configuration like?

Does the switch learn the MAC of the PC during the 'delay' period in
which DHCP breaks
