September 15, 20196 yr Upon clean install and boot I get IPv4 169.254.xxx.xxx assigned. Setting the right IP values using ifconfig does not change anything. The ping command returns "ping: connect: Network is unreachable" With no change to my network layout or settings, any other linux OS and Windows have no trouble getting the right IP. The server has 2 network interfaces, one realtek on the motherboard (LEDs turned off) and one Intel NIC, which has a gigabit link speed but no activity. What am I doing wrong?

Probably a cable or other hardware issue. You don't specifically say, but did you actually try both ethernet ports?

I cannot be a hardware issue, because it works on basically any other OS just fine. I tried both ports, even tried a direct connection to another PC with the same 169.254 IP range (on both ports).
