Hello Hassan,
If I remember correctly, the IP address 169.254.x.x is a fake address generated by WinXP when it cannot connect to the network. Make sure that your WinXP machine can access the network. Or if you have more than one ethernet adapter on that machine, make sure you are using the correct IP address - often 192.168.x.x.

Are you trying to telnet to your WinXP machine from a Linux machine? Are you sure that the WinXP telnet server is running?

hth,
