These are invalid addresses on the internet. Routers don't route them.

IP addy 169. xxx.xxx.xxx = what a Mac uses when it cannot find a DHCP server. Solution: set your Mac to a fixed address. Reboot. Make sure that fixed addy took. Set to use DHCP server and make sure that the server is there and accessible. Save changes. Give it a minute or two to find the server and all should be well.
I don't think only Macs use the 169.xxx address series. (Oops, just looked at my router, it is actually 192.169.1.1). I believe that is the series set by the TCP/IP standard for local networks. It is the default address for my Linksys router, and sub addresses for the network are of the pattern: 192.168.1.xxx.
