New Your Router is borked...
You have to re-fix your router's config.

Change the settings from "150 through 200" to "200 through 220" save it... reset it and then change it back.

Reason I say... the lapper is getting a "default" uPNP address and so is the other device. (Thank MS for pushing uPNP (which isn't "universal") and ZEROCONFIG (which isn't))

Either that or you've had your "network" stuff changed on you lapper.

Just use NetworkManager to setup your wireless and force it to make them "global" on your laptop.

New I'll give that a shot
Of course I'll be starting over when I dump the DSL for cable next month. Should probably get an "n" router to support the increased speed.

New Not quite uPNP
That would be the 169.254.1.0/16

Either the laptop has a static IP defined somehow, or something is sending out incorrect DHCP addresses.

My usual way out of this is to run Wireshark and trace the DHCP exchange. You would have to figure out which box has the offending MAC address.
