Broadcom Netlik adapted assigning wrong IP
I have a problem which started appearing quite recently, namely, the wired internet adapter automatically sets my internal IP to 169.254.x.x and subnet to 255.255.0.0 instead of 192.168.x.x and subnet to 255.255.255.0 . The only workaround is setting my IPv4 manually.
I have a x79 extreme4-m motherboard with broadcom netlink ethernet adapter and the latest drivers installed. I'm using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. Reinstalling the drivers didn't help.
This is NOT a problem with my router or its settings, as every other computer connects to the internet automatically just fine. The problem started occuring after i connected the PC to the schools network once.
My ipconfig /all:

My question is: How can i get the adapter to automatically assign me the correct IP?
And help would be appreciated as this is quite annoying.
