Yep I see the problem, your router is assigning whats called an Automatic Private Address, which is the 169.xxx.xxx.xx, when it should be assigning a 192.xxx.xxx.xx address. Either shut everything down, this includes computers, games consoles etc, power off the modem and router. Wait 30 seconds the power the modem on first, wait for the lights to settle, then the router, and wait for that to settle, then try powering on the xbox before any PC's just to see if you get a connection. If you do, great, if you dont, try setting the xbox to use a static IP address.
