What operating system is the computer running? If Vista, this article should be
of interest.

Now, an IP address of 169.254.x.x is an APIPA address, and you get that when
your computer can't contact a DHCP server. Did installing Network Magic involve
any changes to the router? If so, you need to check the manual for the router,
and find out how to reset the router to factory specs. That should turn the
DHCP server on, and let your computer connect.
What make and model is the cable modem? Is it setup as a modem, or as a router?
