and just FYI, the addresses beginning with 169.254.x.x are built into all Windows machines. If you try to put a PC on a network, but the PC can't contact a DHCP server then it automatically takes the 169.254.x.x address scheme.
Have you confirmed that the other PC is setup for dynamic addressing? When you plug them in does the PC see that it's plugged in, but it just doesn't get an address?
You might try specifying an address that should be good on your network to see if it can get on the network that way.
