Yes, the IP address it sets starts with 169 and, yes, it sets this even
when I've set the correct address manually (it actually attempts to
connect, I think, for it takes quite a while for the error message to
appear).

I've equipped my trusty 2400/180/80/6G/9.1with a Dell TrueMobile

thing, the card is recognized as a Gold card and the signal from my
Airport Extreme base station is picked up, nice and strong.
Unfortunately, however, that's where I was and still am: I haven't
been able to go on the net. Any time I configure TCP/IP (either
through DHCP or manually), after an attempt to connect, I find the
settings changed: it looks as though the book itself puts in some
weird IP address, subnet mask and router address.
Any idea what should be done to overcome this problem?
Does the IP address start with 169? 169.?.x.x is a self assigned
address that is used to automatically connect machine when no
infrastructure is available. It means that your machine is unable to
access the DHCP server.
It should not be changing a manually set address
