You running DHCP? Is it up? If so could be the cable or the NIC

not the cable and not the nic.

get this computer 1 has the 169 issue.
computer 2 connects with conputer 1 fine, so it can't be the NIC.
ISP can communicate with my modem, so it's not the line.
Modem was replaced this morning, so it can't be that.

A 169 means that for some reason the NIC is not communicating with the cable. so usually physical. But now computer 2 connects to net.
Computer 1 will still produce a 169 ip address.

so we're halfway there.....

Do you have a router/switch in the mix? Did it ever work or is this a new computer you are trying to add to the network? If no router/switch then maybe the modem only allows giving out one IP.
