IIRC newer windows versions will not route to a 169.254 IP that is outside your local network - if I need to access a SM on that IP that is behind a router, I need to do as administrator "route add 169.254.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 put.routers.ip.here"

I think the issue is that the default configuration does not have a gateway. So it doesn't know the way back. I put the interface on the MT on 169.254.1.3/16, but don't get replies unless I go directly from the MT. -- bp
