really start to worry when it’s 169.254.0.x

That just means the ~~DNS~~DHCP is disabled.

Edit: words

That is not what that means, it means there's no dhcp on that network segment.

In my defense, whenever there's a networking issue, it's always DNS related.

The three stages of grief:

  1. It can’t be DNS
  2. There’s no way it could be DNS
  3. It was DNS

DNS being down is why the DHCP server didn't start ;)

I can totally see dnsmasq causing this sort of thing.

If there isn't DHCP and you device isn't set for a static IP, would it even connect?
