I'm sure this is an obvious one but can't figure it out.
I have a Winserver 2008 Sp2 (x86) DC with a static IP address allocated to its only NIC. It seems to have acquired a second 169.254.x.x address automatically which I can't get rid of and which intermittently causes DNS problems (and possibly other)
problems.
ipconfig results are shown below:

Any ideas as to how this might have happened and how I get rid of it (a simple re-boot doesn't do the job).
