--- Comment #2 from François Gouget fgouget@codeweavers.com --- I have run the test with extra traces on cw-rx460/Windows 10 1507 and it does not have this local link entry:

The only references I have found concerning 169.254.169.254 mention its use on Amazon EC2. So I don't know why it would appear on this machine.
