Likely reasons for this issue may be the non-responsive DHCP server. When the DHCP server fails to assign the IP address to a computer, the computer automatically assigns an IP address to itself. This IP address starts with 169.254.x.x and has the subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, and the computer displays a notification ‘Limited or No Connectivity’.If multiple computers depend on the DHCP server to obtain the IP addresses from it and the DHCP server fails, all computers get the IP addresses from the same 169.254.x.x range where.x.x is a randomly generated unique number for each computer.In order to resolve this issue, you can:■Check if the modem to which your computer is connected is properly configured.

If not, you must contact the concerned person and get it reset as per the recommended settings instantaneously.■Assuming that the modem settings are correct, check that your computer is configured to obtain the IP address, default gateway, and DNS server address from the DHCP server. (In most scenarios where a single modem is used to provide the Internet connection at homes, the modem itself plays the role of the DHCP and DNS server.).To verify the above settings, you must:■Press Windows + R keys simultaneously to initialize the Run command box.■In the available field, type the NCPA.CPL command and hit Enter key. If the DHCP Enabled value is Yes and the No Internet Access (in Windows 7 or Windows 8) or Limited or No Connectivity (in Windows XP or earlier) notification is displayed along with an exclamation mark within a yellow triangle, and you know the IP address settings, try setting up the IP address in your computer manually.

In most cases, the modem’s own IP address is 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. For testing purposes, you can power off all the other devices and computers in the network except the one that you are using to resolve the problem. Once all the computers and devices are powered off, you must:■Follow the instructions from step 1 to step 6 as given above, till you are on the network adapter’s status box by clicking on the Status option in the context menu.■On the opened box, click the Properties button.■On the opened properties box, from the displayed list, double-click the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) option.
