actually if I am not mistaken you will get 169 when the modem itself cannot get an ip from VM. This could be for various reasons I guess, I seen it before at my sister's when her bill wasnt paid (suspended service), a dhcp outage would probably cause this also. So to me if I am right its either suspended service or a VM outage.

However since you have the dir615 I would assume its the dir615 getting the 169 ip and your lan ip's will be fine.
