Avahi is the Linux implementation of Zeroconf. The first paragraph here gives a concise description of Avahi.
In essence; in the absence of any network configuration (no dhcp or manual configuration) Avahi provides a local LAN IP address. This address the has the first two octets as 169.254. This address is never provided by dhcp and has nothing to do with your ISP.
IMO, the first test would be to see what the IP address of your network card. You can do that by posting the output of this command
Code:
ifconfig|grep 'inet addr'
...This provides the currently configured IP addresses.
When I do this I get the following
Code:
inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
