Hi
in windows xp, automatic IP configuration results in random allocation of IP address between
169.254.0.1 - 169.254.255.254
are these addresses meant for homenetworking. how is this issue dealt with by routers. i mean if it is for homenetworking, then how do two LANs where windows xp has set these addresses up communicate with each other, i mean how are packets routed between them, since to my understanding, the router between them would have a conflicting routing table!
