Based on what I got from your post you probably have a
169 ip problem. Try the following below. It may possibly
be a problem with your NIC. If its an onboard NIC try
going into Device Manager and uninstall the NIC and then
reboot XP will reinstall the NIC for you. If its not an
onboard NIC same process but you'd have to install the
driver from CD/floppy. It may possibly be a problem with
the CAT5 cable check your connections by reversing the
CAT5 cable making sure it clicks at both ends. Try
getting another CAT5 cable. Just a few things to try if
you haven't already.
