Wifi DHCP giving a weird IP in raspberry pi 2

[alexserver]

Hello there, I've been looking for a successful Wireless configuration with /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf files that work for my raspberry pi 2 and this is the only I found:

https://kerneldriver.wordpress.com/2012 ... pberry-pi/

I'm able to connect to my router, unfortunately, when I do, I get this strange IP: 169.254.232.164, and I don't know why.

This are my fles

/etc/network/interfaces

Code: Select all

# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual

#allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Code: Select all

network={
ssid="myssid"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk="mypass"
}

how the heck did this end with a strange ip ? my router is having dhcp for 192.168.1.100 to .199

169.254.x.x addresses are automatic private IP addressing that has long been common on Windows. An adaptor set to use DHCP that fails to contact a DHCP server (i.e. your router) allocates an address from this private network IP range.

I didn't know Raspbian did that but try looking up "automatic private IP addressing"

Rattus I know the blog is old, but that's the only one that got me an IP.
Internet is full of outdated crappy tutorials.

I followed the official tutorial and failed.

could you help me to set a successful interfaces and wpa_supplicant files that work with the dhcpcd.conf you suggested ?
