Actually, that's an IP address that most devices will set themselves to when they _can't_ get an address from the router. Time to check that you're trying to connect to the right network (there may be several in your neighborhood), and that you're using the right password.

Subject: [iPad] Wireless TroubleI have seen references to this problem, but no solution. My iPad connects to
open networks just fine, but it will not connect to my home Access Point
running WPA-PSK.
My iPhone and my netbook and laptop all connect just fine. The iPad shows an
IP of 169.254.198.102 and I have NO idea where it gets that.
Anyone know of a solution?
Thanks.
