Vista - Vista Network Trouble (possibly going from public to private, possibly something else)

Hi, on my notebook I can run the internet over wireless internet
perfectly fine, but i as soon as i plug in an ethernet cable in i lose
all connectivity. I looked in the network and sharing center and found
that whenever i plug in the cable the network appears to think its
accessing a public network, and i can go in then and change it to a
private but it still does not allow for connectivity. I've made sure
that network discovery is on, i've tried going into the network security
found on a similar post with no results. I'm not sure if the
public/private thing is even the problem, so any other open-minded ideas
will be appriciated.

I am running on a HP elitebook 6930p, using vista enterprise. The
router I am connecting to 3800HGV-B 2wire AT&T Uversre provided router.

here is my ipconfig /all while running wireless internet.

This is the problem:
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.166.129(Preferred)
You are also not getting Default gateway address,

You are not getting IP address from a DHCP server.
Perhaps your Router/DHCP server is set to filter MAC addresses and allow
only known MAC addresses, in this case your wireless MAC address.

Configure your Router/DHCP server to allow your MAC address of the
"Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection". That would be:
Physical Address: 00-21-5A-F7-12-D7

Alternatively, you can try to set IP parameters manualy to something like:

IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.174 or some other unused IP address
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254
DNS Servers : 192.168.1.254

However, if you've got MAC filtering on your router, perhaps you won't be
able to go very far.
