Destination Host Unreachable

Your log shows that no DHCP server responded to the machine the logs came
from and you got an IPIPA 169.x.x.x address. (The 169.x.x.x address is the
address your machine will pick for itself, if no DHCP server responds and
the DHCP request times out.)

Meaning that something is wrong.
1) Either the machine the logs are from is NOT on the network, somehow -
like a patch cable is not plugged in (or damaged), wifi is not joined, or
something similar. Fix your connection to the network and DHCP should work.
or
2) The DHCP server isn't working properly to hand out addresses. This is a
more complicated problem - we'd need a description of how your
network/router/dhcp-server are all connected physically/logically.

But if *other* machines can get on the network and get DHCP addresses (not
a 169.x.x.x address), it's likely #1. (That's my guess - but it's only a
guess.)
