169.254.*.* is what windows gives your computer when it can't get an IP from DHCP. if you have a router, reset the router? check the cable, make sure its not cut or frayed, try another cable

Anyway, make sure DHCP is enabled on the router.
If not, you'll have to assign an IP within the range manually.
On most modern routers it is enabled by default though.
