Re: Internet connection problem.
The 169.x addresses is a default address when your client is set to use DHCP but cannot retrieve a DHCP address from the server (be it a router, cable modem or whatever).

If your modem is restarting and you're getting a new address each time this is strange and I would be calling customer services for someone to check the line etc.

If the modem was just dropping power (not getting new addy) then it may have been a power issue, but the new Addy would indicate it's something further down the line.

Good Luck!
