Mark, it seems the real problem now is that, for some reason, the SB is fixated on the 169.254 address.
I dont know if the following is possible, as I do not use my router as a DHCP server. I run a full domain setup with WIN SBS 2003. The router and server PC have fixed IP's issued by the SBS DHCP server but all other clients get dynamic IP's. Can you with your router, even though it is acting as a DHCP server, allocate a fixed IP address (sometimes called a 'reserved' address) of say 192.168.0.99. If so reboot the SB and go through the network setup but choosing a fixed IP instead of DHCP just to see if it will work. If it does, reboot and go back to using DHCP, hopefully, this series of acctions will have made the SB forget all about 169.254. Best I can thing of for now otherwise an email to SD support containing a copy of these messages may get you some more help. Good luck. I assume you work from home as I do - I find it hopeless trying to work when I have one of the type problems on my mind. I just have to deal with it first!
