the 169.x.x.x is an APIPA address...your computer will self assign one of these if it cannot get an address from a DHCP server...more about that here:

as to where the addresses are coming from...dunno! I suspect that it will be from somewhere internal though so your plan to check your brothers PC will be the next logical step.
