Says the network is out of range when i'm right next to it
Remember 196.254.x.x mostly we call bad ip address in
fact this is not a bad ip address, The INTERNET ASSIGNED NUMBER AUTHORITY(IANA)
has reserved the private ip address in the range of 169.254.0.0 to
169.254.255.255 for automatic private addressing. So this addresses are not
found on internet. That is the reason we cannot go online with this ip
addresses normally.
