If a new host connects to a LAN without a DHCP server, how does it receive an IP?

Answer

if a DHCP server is not available.

Reserved addresses from 169.254.0.0-169.254.255.255 is used for automatic addressing. It wont conflict because its non routable

Manual config can also be done. There after TCP IP takes care.
