No idea how Tikona works.

But here is my advice.
Is Windows also using DHCP mode? If yes then I am surprised that it is
not working in Ubuntu.
If Windows is not using DHCP then why not? Did you change some
configuration recently? Did some tech support guy change it either
directly at your home or remotely (if that is possible).
Did you try setting a static IP in Ubuntu from the range 1.254.254.x
where 1 < x < 254?

Let me know if the quest to find answers to these questions helps you anyway.
