lately I've been having some problems with my DHCP and my clients IP.
So basically, in my netwrok I have a DHCP server (Windows 2012 R2) which is working fine (when you connect to the network you get an IP, and you have connectivity), and then I have some client machines which are static-IP configured.
The problem is that every now and then these clients lose connectivity, and when i check them out they have a 169.254.x.x IP. I know that this IP is an auto-assigned DHCP address, but I don't know why this is happening since the clients are configured to have a static IP. To fix it, I only have to restart the network adapter on the problem machine.
I'd like to know if there is a reason why this is happening and how to solve it.
