Hi,
You said that you got the ip 169.x.x.x which means your system is not getting an Ip address(192.168.x.x) officially called APIPA address. Using 169.x.x.x you will not go online.

You also said you are using xp Operation System. With that you are able to go online.Now check the default gateway in the OS. command : ipconfig/all Take the default gateway and try to configure static IP in LINUX.
ex: Default gateway is 192.168.1.25 (showing in xp os)
Now in linux the static ip should be 192.168.1.2 Mask 255.255.255.0 Gateway is 192.168.1.25 Try this hope this works.

Pavan.
