unlocatable IP address
I studied my email headers and have an IP address that is unlocatable. I tried everything in dnsstuff.com and no physical address shows. In Whois it pops up as Internet Assigned Numbers in Marina Del Ray and in further investigating I found that the numerical order it falls in is this:
"169.254.0.0/16 - This is the "link local" block. It is allocated for
communication between hosts on a single link. Hosts obtain these
addresses by auto-configuration, such as when a DHCP server may not
be found."
What kind of IP address would be this hard to find? And what does this explanation from www.iana.org mean?
Thanks for helping me out.
