the 169.x.x.x ip address is one that gets assigned by windows, when unable to get one via dhcp.

what model of STB is it - it may be that you need a crossover adaptor - if so, it will have x-over or crossover printed or it will be on sticker where the ethernet port is on the back of the STB. You should have got a crossover adaptor as part of your BB welcome pack from NTL.

HTH
