I dont think that would've made a difference, but its maybe worth a try removing it.
Do you have a firewall running - I don't think this would affect it, as I'm sure windows tries to get the ip address before any programs start running, but its worth a try shutting it down if you've got one when you're trying to repair the connection in XP.
Apart from that, I'm at a loss as to why you're getting a 169 address, especially as the connection is there between the pc & STB.
