If Windows 7 is unable to contact a DHCP server, it will use Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) to assign itself an IP address in the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. This ensures that the computer has an IP address so that it can communicate with other devices on the same network segment.
