OK - I thought I was clear in purpose but you didn't get it.

Linux is using ip 169.254.208.135/255.255.0.0 for zeroconf and I presume
expecting a dhcp server. Knowing that you are e-mailing from your
Windows machine which has an apparent IP address of orion.cdkkt.com
([216.99.218.209], I asked you to tell us what the output of that
Windows system.... ipconfig /all because that would tell us the details
of ip addressing/subnet mask/gateway address.

Short of that, you are either going to have to learn TCP/IP Networking
for yourself or ask me to make wild guesses, which I prefer not to do.
