I just noticed that dhclient on my machine is reporting that I have
new IP address every 15 minutes or so. However, it is the same address
over and over. Observe:

Jul 24 10:16:16 jamestown dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 169.254.0.255
Jul 24 10:42:04 jamestown dhclient: New Network Number: 169.254.0.0
Jul 24 10:42:04 jamestown dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 169.254.0.255
Jul 24 11:09:55 jamestown dhclient: New Network Number: 169.254.0.0
Jul 24 11:09:55 jamestown dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 169.254.0.255
Jul 24 11:36:41 jamestown dhclient: New Network Number: 169.254.0.0
Jul 24 11:36:41 jamestown dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 169.254.0.255
Jul 24 11:59:14 jamestown dhclient: New Network Number: 169.254.0.0
Jul 24 11:59:14 jamestown dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 169.254.0.255
Jul 24 12:22:04 jamestown dhclient: New Network Number: 169.254.0.0

I don't remember it doing this before and I don't look at the log very
often. Is this normal? Is this my problem or the ISP's?

TIA

Jim
