APIPA What type of Internet access would this computer have? No access - Correct Answer-You can use the ipconfig command to find the IP address and subnet mask. You will need to use ipconfig /all to find additional information, such as whether the computer got addressing information from a DHCP server or not. In this scenario, the computer is configured to get information from a DHCP server (DHCP Enabled = Yes), but the DHCP server line is missing, meaning that the computer could not contact a DHCP server. The Autoconfiguration Enabled line indicates Yes, meaning that the computer will use APIPA if the DHCP server is unavailable. An address beginning with 169.254.x.x with a mask of 255.255.0.0 indicates that the computer used APIPA to assign itself an IP address. Because the computer does not have a default gateway address, it will be unable to communicate on the Internet. Communications will be limited to the local subnet only.
