Are you using a wireless connection? Just wondering if you also have an unused ethernet port on your PC that is being allocated a 169 address (Windows would give it a 169 address if it couldn't get one anywhere else). UDP port 137 is NetBios and it looks like it's broadcast traffic (255.255), like the card saying 'I'm here, who wants to talk?'.

Basically check that there is not an ethernet port somewhere that is enabled but not in use. Worth a shot.....
