Try removing the NIC in device manager then with the modem still connected do a reboot on the PC the NIC will be found and drivers loaded with the correct settings. (Removing the NIC this way effectively clears down all the associated settings including the "wrong" 169 DCHP assignment.)

Having done that the "New" NIC should see the modem correctly.

If not the problem could be the Modem has not yet "Tied" itself to the NIC in which case reboot the modem while still connected to the NIC then repeat the process above.

Hope this helps.
