169.254.x.x sounds to me very much like a APIPA address. That address range
is reserved by IANA. It is normally on used to ensure that a client using DHCP will always have an address (not conflicting with routable address's) even if it cant reach the DHCP server. Google APIPA to read up on it.... Hope I have helped chap... Kind regards, Jimbo.
