You have probably picked up that IP address because a computer on your network cannot access the DHCP server and Windows has allocated this number.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved 169.254.0.0-169.254.255.255 for Automatic Private IP Addressing. As a result, APIPA provides an address that is guaranteed not to conflict with routable addresses.
