"I'm now trying to connect starbook directly to my laptop using the same network than I m using Internet with 192.168.x.x adress, it doesn't work as starbook always get 169.254.1.1 or 169.254.0.1"

Perhaps the simplest thing to do is to add a route to the internal router of your laptop, altough "169.xxx.xxx.xxx " addresses are not reserved for private networks, in general.
If you do use an integrated ADSL/Fibre modem/Hub at your home you could :
0) Browse to it (generally, http://192.168.1.1/)
1) login with user/password (generally labeled behind the modem)
2) add another local IP address/subnet to it (for example: 169.254.1.2/255.255.255.248)
3) connect Starbook direcly to the modem or via an hub
4) try to ping it from your laptop (that usually uses already your modem as router)
In case, try with "traceroute 169.168.1.1" to see where communication breaks

Not sure, but it can worth a try,,,
