Styleicon24,  I would first try... Power off your ISP modem/router and your wireless router(if any) for 30 seconds. Then power on the ISP modem/router. Wait 15 seconds, then power on the wireless router(if any) Restart the computer and try to connect. What happens?  The 169/254 IP Address is a communication problem with the router and the modem.  Also what virus program and firewall are you using?   Rick
