I sometimes gets an ip address of 169.254.111.111 received for my laptop (instead of one in the 10.0.0.x range). I thought it was a problem with my Ubuntu system, but after I dual-booted I got the same problem under Windows Vista with the same laptop.

What's the problem, why does it happens only sometimes, and how can it be solved?

For the record: I'm using a Linksys WRT610N wireless router.
