it will try to find a dhcp server, eventualy it will give up and default to the default ip address
which is 169.254.187.96.

to get your client to connect again you will need to ensure dhcp is available, go into nic properties on your client and change the ip address to one that is part of your network.
when it has connected you can then change the nic properties again to auto again.
