You have a physical connection problem. The 169.254.*.* addresses are what
MS products automatically give themselves if they can not find a DHCP
Server.

Temporarily give the machine static network settings, then troubleshoot the
connection problems. Once everything works properly again you can set it all
back to automatic.
