You'll get an IP in the 169.254.0.0/16 address range if your PC is
configured to require an IP address from DHCP and it cannot contact a
server.

If you have other machines working as expected, and they also use DHCP
to obtain their IP addresses, then it's likely your SID and/or WEP/WPA
key are incorrect on your two "faulty" machines.

You have a mis-configuration between the card and the router on the
wireless. The 169.x.x.x IP means that the O/S could not get an IP from the
DHCP server on the router, due to some kind of mis-configuration.

You need to call tech support for the wireless card and let them help you
make the configuration of the wireless card, so that card can connect to the
router and get a DHCP IP from the router.

What Chris Davies said. It's the wrong key or the configuration on
the two laptops.

If you're using a WEP key, there's a common problem in the ASCII to
Hex key conversion routine. Different vendors have different ideas on
how to do the conversion. If you're using WEP, use the Hex key, not
the ASCII key and it will work.

However, if you're using WEP encryption, be advised that WEP security
absolutely sucks and has been replaced by WPA and WPA2 encryption. I
strongly suggest you change to one of these.
