I haven't followed this closely, but I assume that the machine that ends
up "pinging" the 169* address is the Windows machine? Actually, I'll
bet it's not actually pinging that address, but looking to that address
for name resolution. You have to fiddle with Windows to make this stop,
but I can't recall how. It's something like either disabling Dial-Up
Networking, or changing the nameserver to the local machine. Something
like that.
