Only getting 169.x.x.x IP

I am trying to get into a wireless connection of my neighbor (i spoke to him about it) but am getting a 169.x.x.x IP address.  He is away for 2 weeks so I can't ask him if he put a mac filter on, or anything else as security.  Is there any way for me to get around a mac address filter?

Most likely not.  I would assume that if he put on a filter it would have been to only allow certain MAC addresses.  So unless you know what his MAC is then you are at a loss.

any way for me to find out? i can't ping so i doubt it.

Though, I do know the configuration is 192.168.0.x (He has .1 through .4)  It wont work even if i manually put in .5 and the router as the default gateway.

Is there any way to put in a good dns and get out to the web, ro will it still block me?
