try this
1) unplug the modem from power
2) unplug the USB from modem
3) plug in the modem, wait for SYN and RDY to stop flashing
4) Plug in the ethernet cable
5) power on the PC

If you still get a 169.xxx IP try again from step 1 but this time unplug the coax cable from the modem first.

If you still get a 169 IP try using the same ethernet cable to plug into a router

If the router still gives you a 169 IP try a different ethernet cable.
