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.
