Hmm, one of the 'reserved uses' seems to be the range of ip-addresses when not connected to a network. Windows network cards that do not connect to a network (or can't find a DHCP server) always get addresses in the 169 range. Has been that way since ages. Since the net name is EU-ZZ-169, is this one of the EU tactics to block Microsoft (Neelie strikes again?)

But it may be safer to choose an address in the 192.168 range, as long as you take care not to choose an address that's already in your private network.
