Hi,

Doubt if winsock is causing this type of problem,

Normally problems with TCP/IP being corrupt, a dodgey modem or as has been mentioned a firewall blocking the dhcp cause a 169 IP. i have Zone alarm and have no problems but there are other firewalls on the market.

A winsock problem is normally when you have a valid IP but can not browse.
