Seeing an IP address in the 169.254.0.0/16 range. This is a "private"
range which is often used for "ad-hoc" networks without a gateway (for
example to exchange data between two laptops directly). The purpose of
zeroconf is to make it easy set this up, but unfortunately it does so
even if it is not wanted.
