My iMac seems to get a 169 IP on wake-up about once a week No problems with my Debian or Win 7 boxes which are presumably on the same switch

  That's a link-local IPv4 address, typically means that it hasn't got a lease from your DHCP server.

    Normally messing with the cable gets it to pick up a proper address. Strange that other two machines aren't effected if the DHCP server is to blame
