Asus_wl500G_new

I connect my wireless NIC (laptop) to the Asus WL500G (firmware 1.9.2.7.6b) and get a LAN ip adderss: 192.168.1.10. I am logged in as administrator.
Then I logout, log in as guest, connect again to te Asus router and get an ip address: 169.254.xxx.xxx. This address is not given out by the Asus since it is not in the range 192.168.1.1:255.255.0.0 and I don't see it in the list of "Status & Log - DHCP Leases" in the web config.
But I'm sure I'm still connected to the Asus (and not to some other unprotected wireless network nearby).
Does anyone know what this means?
