receiving unexpected IP address *outside* of VPN

I'm on a VPN set up by a D-link router connected to a cable modem. 
The internal IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1, and its dhcpd is
set up to deliver IP addresses between 192.168.0.100 and
192.168.0.199, with my MAC address bound to 192.168.0.109.  The
bizarre thing is that my computer seems to be getting the IP addrsess
169.254.46.151!  This seems very strange to me.  I'm using Debian
unstable, and have tried the following two different stanzas in
/etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

and

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.109
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

The DHCP stanza seems to show me getting the desired IP address:

lwaldron@parkdale:/etc/network$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
Reconfiguring network interfaces...cat: /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid: No
such file or directory

done.

But ifconfig disagrees!
