i have a weird network issue wherein my two network adapters get both an address via DHCP and also a Link Local IP address. (see screenshot). the two adapters are connected to two different networks with different dhcp servers. i have a feeling that this is a remnant from creating a bridge connections between the two adapters. this is an issue as in certain software that checks the IP address it detects and uses the link local ip address.

i have tried resetting network settings, resetting winsock. uninstalling the network adapter and adding it again but the problem seems to persists. i wanted to know if anyone has any clue on removing this link local address. it seems to only occur on the two network cards that i had created a bridge on earlier and deleted it.

 

any help is greatly appreciated 

 

do you have anything configured in your alternate configuration tab in the ipv4 properties within that adapter?

 

I believe this outlines your issue.  The default is automatic private ip address

http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/29241-ip-address-enable-alternate-configuration.html

Another possible cause is that there is another computer with that ip address on the network.  If that is the case, you will need to change the static ip of that computer or reserve that ip in your dhcp for that other computer. 

I recall someone else having this issue awhile back and don't recall the exact cause - but this seems like a repeated problem. Hopefully the details will come to me here in a bit.

So what is this nic, its not dual port? is this the built in nic?

Arrggh its going to drive me nuts until I recall this previous thread now ;)

@sc302 the DHCP ip address 192.168.104.81 is reserved for the computer on the DHCP server so there is no conflict as far as i can tell. 

 

@budman the computer is laptop (Dell Precision M4700). one network is the built intel 82xx and the other one is via a USB3 to gigabit ethernet adapter (TRENDNet TU3-ETG). the issue is on both these cards. these were the two cards i tried to set the bridge on which i later deleted. 

 

could it be an issue related to how long windows waits before detecting wether DHCP server is present on the network. whats funny though is that the DHCP ip address shows up first and after a few mins the private IP also shows up. 

So I found the thread I was thinking about

https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1163160-each-nic-has-2-ip-addresses-cannot-work-out-why/

His was a VM.. He never came back to the thread - so not sure what happened with this.

You could try reset of your stack.. I have never ran into this before that last thread I linked too, have never seen it - so not exactly sure what could be causing your problem. I doubt it has anything to do with the attempted bridge. Did you actually remove the bridge?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357

if you go to ipv4 properties, advanced do you see anything under IPs?

example

I've had that happen to a couple client machines. Reset the network stack, removed all network adapters and reinstalled them with new drivers. No static IP, the DHCP server was giving out the correct address. Still the problem would persist. Unfortunately the fastest thing for me to do was reimage the machine. Hopefully you won't have to resort to that.

If your ok with it - wouldn't mind setting up a Team viewer session to look into this a bit more.

Did you read the other thread about deleting the reg key for the guid that has that other IP On it?

Can you post the output of your ipconfig /all and also this section in device manager - making sure you set show hidden.

post-14624-0-88011900-1407196710.png

another area to look would be:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\

 

 

here are a few other things to try, there are a few in this thread:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/8acb7cd1-7028-4ffe-86c9-eb43041cf8b3/how-do-i-get-rid-of-second-169254xx-ipv4-address-on-windows-server-2008-sp2-x86?forum=winservergen

 

 

apparently there are a lot of causes and not one silver bullet to fix it.  you are going to have to try different things until you find the fix for you. 

I would take budman up on doing a teamviewer session...I wouldn't mind doing it either. 

Attached is the output from ipconfig/all 

 

i added the IPAutoConfigurationEnabled to 0 on all the interfaces but it still shows up as autoconfiguration enabled in ipconfig output. i have attached the registry of the interfaces module also

ipconfig.txtFetching info...   interfaces.txtFetching info...

which of those guid shows 169.x address if any - don't have the time to convert the hex ;) Also look in registry if bridge is still there?

Do you have bridge left in the registry - should be here

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Bridge and BridgeMP

post-14624-0-91121900-1407238269.png

Did you reset the stack with netsh?

you could try removing those reg entries - they are not there unless a bridge has been created. I would have to test if they should be removed when you remove the bridge.

searching for the ip address in the registry did not yield any hits. 

 

as suggested by sc302 deleting the address works but it comes back at next bootup. this might be decent temporary solution until i can get around to doing a clean install. 


post-42710-0-39465700-1407253169.png

i use the MS disable IPv6 utility to disable IPv6 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852

 

SVGigE filter driver is the driver for a SVS Vistek GigE  camera. this was installed prior to the problem showing up. just to try i have removed it and problem is still there.

I disable ipv6 in the registry with simple command

reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip6\parameters /v DisabledComponents /t REG_DWORD /d 255

But I would then unbind the interface for sure as well.. Try unchecking that reboot to see if your apipa address is still there.

    • EA Sports UFC 5 is free-to-play on Xbox Series X|S this weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every Thursday Microsoft brings in a fresh slate of games for Xbox gamers to try over the weekend as a part of its Free Play Days promotion. The latest refresh that arrived today only revealed a single title for the weekend, and that's EA Sports UFC 5. This is a special occasion as well. Unlike the standard events, this one does not require any tier of Game Pass to jump in. All Xbox Series X|S owners can play the game over the weekend, even if they do not have a Core subscription. As always, any progress made during the weekend also carries over automatically if you decide to purchase the game afterward. Coming in from EA Sports, UFC 5 is the latest entry in the long-running mixed martial arts fighting games. This installment landed in 2023 for the latest generation consoles. Built on DICE's Frostbite Engine for the first time, the title event received an M rating by the ESRB for its realistic injury system, as EA wanted to make a more authentic experience akin to the real-world sport. The damage system, dubbed the Real Impact System, involves depicting blood and sweat on fighters as well as facial injuries. Having injuries like bruised eyes or broken noses can even affect the performance of a fighter due to impaired vision or breathing difficulty. A doctor stoppage may even happen if the injuries become too severe. UFC 5 offers a single-player career mode to become the top-ranked fighter, online modes for competitive action, and special events tied to real-world fights. Here are the store links for the game: UFC 5 - $27.99 (Xbox Series X|S) UFC 5 Deluxe Edition - $31.99 (Xbox Series X|S) UFC 5 Ultimate Edition - $89.99 (Xbox Series X|S) This Free Play Days promotion will end on Sunday, June 29, at 11:59 pm PT. Following this, expect another round of games to enter the program next Thursday, July 3.

    • American? Yer whole 120v limitation is madness.  You can still get low powered pcs , nice, that'll do the job 
    • People want a resizable taskbar, not tiny icons on a fat one. Microsoft, you've done it again.
    • Windows 11 gets resizable taskbar icons, PC Migration tool, and more in KB5060829 by Taras Buria Windows 11 24H2 users, it is time for this month's non-security update. KB5060829 is here, and it has some long-requested taskbar updates, a new tool for transferring files between PCs, and a hefty list of other improvements. With KB5060829, build number 26100.4484, Microsoft is finally delivering the long-requested small taskbar icons, one of the missing Windows 10 taskbar features. However, with Windows 11, Microsoft gives users more flexibility: you can have your taskbar as is, make icons smaller as the taskbar gets full, or keep icons small all the time. Neat! Additionally, a new PC Migration app is available, which enables transferring files from one PC to another during the initial setup. However, in a somewhat confusing move, all users receive only the landing page and the pairing page. The actual capability is coming in a future update. Other changes include performance improvements in File Explorer for handling large archives, fixes for display flashing, new accessibility features, and more. Here is the complete changelog (gradual rollout): [App defaults] New! We are rolling out some small changes in the European Economic Area (EEA) region for default browsers through the Set default button in Settings > Apps > Default apps: Additional file and link types will be set for the new default browser, if it registers them. The new default browser will be pinned to the Taskbar and Start menu unless you choose not to pin it by clearing the checkboxes. There is now a separate one-click button for browsers to change your .pdf default, if the browser registers for the .pdf file type. [Click to Do (Preview)] New! Ask Microsoft 365 Copilot is a new action in Click to Do on Copilot+ PCs. Use it to send text or images to Microsoft 365 Copilot, which will respond to your questions. The Ask Microsoft 365 Copilot action requires a Microsoft 365 license and follows your organization’s privacy policies. [Narrator] New! The Screen Curtain feature in Narrator helps protect your privacy and improve focus by blacking out the screen while Narrator reads content aloud. This is especially helpful in public or shared spaces, where you can work with sensitive information without others seeing your screen. To turn on Narrator, press Ctrl + Windows + Enter. Then press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C to turn on Screen Curtain. While it’s on, you can use Narrator as usual with the screen hidden. Press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C again to turn it off. New! Narrator makes it easier to discover and learn about its features directly within the experience. Whether you're new or exploring advanced options, Narrator will guide you through the latest updates using a series of steps and prompts that explain each new feature and change. [PC Migration] New! The PC-to-PC migration experience in Windows is starting to roll out. You’ll begin to see the landing and the pairing page in the Windows Backup app, giving you a first look at what’s coming. In the full experience, you’ll be able to transfer files and settings from an old PC to a new one during setup. Support for this feature during PC setup will arrive in a future update. The rollout is being introduced in phases to support a smooth experience. [Settings] New!​​​​​​​ The Settings homepage managed by IT admins now includes cards tailored for enterprise use. These include familiar options like "Recommended settings" and "Bluetooth devices" along with other new cards for device info and accessibility preferences. If a user signs in with both a work or school account and Microsoft account, an additional account card appears to show both account types. New! The country or region selected during device setup now appears under Settings > Time & language > Language & region. Fixed: The storage card in Settings > System > About shows an incorrect or unreadable character instead of the proper disk size. [Taskbar & System Tray] New!​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The taskbar now resizes icons to fit more apps when space runs low, keeping everything visible and easy to access. You can adjust how icons appear in settings—reduce icon size only when the taskbar is full (default), keep icons at their original size at all times by selecting Never, or use smaller icons all the time by selecting Always. To change this setting, right-click an empty area on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings, expand the Taskbar behaviors section, and choose your preference under Show smaller taskbar buttons. New! In addition to the new grouping of the Accessibility menu in Quick settings, there are text descriptions for the assistive technologies like Narrator, Voice access, and more for easier identification and learning. New! Adjusted the indicator (pill) under taskbar apps to make it wider and more visible.​​​​​​​ Fixed: WIN + CTRL + Number doesn't work anymore for switching windows of an open app in the taskbar.​​​​​​​ Fixed: When using taskbar in Windows, the media controls that appear in the preview windows for apps might unexpectedly flicker. [Voice Access] New! You can now use Voice access to navigate, dictate, and interact with Windows using voice commands in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese. New!

In the Windows share window, you can select a compression level—High, Medium, or Low Quality—when editing and sharing images, instead of selecting from a 0–100 scale. [Color] Improved: Adjusted the location of the intensity and color boost sliders under Settings > Accessibility > Color Filters, so the color previews at the top of the page remain visible while adjusting the sliders. [File Explorer] Improved: Performance has been enhanced when extracting archive files - this will particularly help in the case of copy pasting large numbers of files out of large 7z or .rar archives. [Graphics] Improved: Made underlying changes to enhance display related user experiences, including reducing screen flashing during certain display configuration transitions and eliminating unnecessary display resets that occurred in some cases​​​​​​​. Fixed: Some displays might be unexpectedly green. Fixed: If User Account Control (UAC) is set to Always Notify and the button under Settings > System > Display color calibration is selected for your display and canceled, Settings will stop responding. [Input] Fixed: Typing in Japanese with the touch keyboard might stop working after switching to typing with an English keyboard and then switching back. [MSFTEdit.dll] Fixed: Some apps like Sticky Notes and dxdiag might stop responding when the display language is set to Arabic or Hebrew display. [Quick Settings] Fixed: The top three buttons in the top row don’t respond when selecting to enable or disable them. [Printing] Fixed: Printed lines might be unexpectedly thicker than expected. [Scripting] Fixed: Running a script on a remote Server Message Block (SMB) share might take an unexpectedly long time if the share is hosted on an older Windows Server version like Windows Server 2019. [Windowing] ​​​​​​​Fixed: When you press ALT + Tab to switch out of a full screen game, other windows like Windows Terminal might stop responding. Fixed: An underlying issue might lead to unexpected changes to window size and position after sleep and resume on some devices. Fixed: Explorer.exe might stop working unexpectedly when a window is dragged, if window snapping is enabled. And here is what is available to all users right away: [Copilot] Fixed: Improved the Copilot key’s reliability and resolved an issue that prevented users from restarting Copilot after using the key. [Performance] Fixed: This update addresses an issue to maintain efficiency of Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). When running complex software defined data center (SDDC) related workflows, it’s possible the system might become unresponsive. [Storage optimization] Fixed: An issue that prevented unused language packs and Feature on Demand packages from being fully removed, which led to unnecessary storage use and longer Windows Update installation times. [Windows Hello] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that prevented the automatic renewal of expiring certificates in Windows Hello for Business. [Windows Search] ​​​​​​​Fixed: Windows Search responds very slowly—Search can take over 10 seconds to load before you can use it. Fixed: This update enhances the reliability of Windows Search and resolves an issue that prevented users from typing in Windows Search in some cases. Known issues remain the same: there is a bug where Windows 11 renders Noto fonts poorly in Chromium-based browsers when the display scaling is set to 100%. A temporary workaround is to set the scaling to 125% or higher. You can download KB5060829 by heading to Settings > Windows Update. Alternatively, get it from the Microsoft Update Catalog using this link.
