Paul,
A 169 ip address is a fake ip, given by the mac itself when it couldn't 
contact your dhcp server(aka modem).

Who is you isp?

If it's comcast 

go to     http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108073

Which will explain parts of the problem. I also wouldn't try the fix myself, 
the work around that i was told by comcast was to buy a router, which i 
needed anyway, and haven't had problems since.
