[QUOTE="emma.apple, post: 1612788, member: 335518"] Hi, I am posting this question, because I read all other answers I could find about self-assigned IP nightmare, and nothing helped me out so far. Here's my situation briefly: - MBP (late 2012) - updated to Yosemite yesterday, internet worked all day after the update - this morning the internet was not working for me and my flatmate. We restarted the router numerous times, until after a few hours the internet came back on. It's unclear whether the issue was on our side, or Time Warner. - however, whilst the internet now works on my flatmate's MBA, and my iPad and iPhone, my MBP displays the nightmarish "Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.xxx.xxx.xxx and will not be able to connect to the internet" message. So far I tried (numerous times each): restart the router; restart the laptop; delete the home network from preferred networks; delete Wi-Fi in the Network section of System Preferences and add it back on again; add location; delete the home network file in Keychain; renew dhcp lease; configured IPv4 (under TCP/IP) to manually, wrote 1.1.1.1, then accepted changes, then switched back on to "using dhcp"; used both the diagnostics and the assistant in Network section of System Preferences. I also deleted the com.apple.alf.plist file in Library/preferences. I am very stressed about this, as I need my laptop for work (from home). Would anyone have any additional suggestions? Thank you so much for you time! [/QUOTE]
