Wired connection

Yup tried having it in both automatic (numbers are constantly changing when in automatic) and also tried putting it in manual nothing is working yet =(

Maybe I can guess what problem you have been encountered with. Is your internet provider uses VPN (Dial to connect) services? If so, you CAN'T connect to Xbox Live with wired ethernet connection because Xbox 360 do NOT compatible with local VPN services.
I have that problem too. Problem was solved by using wireless connection.

yup tried switching the port, checkmark is there and cat 5 is brand new

This may be presumptuous of me but did you try switching which port it was connected to on the back of your router/modem?

Is there a check mark next to "Wired Connection" in the network test screen?

Is the Cat5 in good shape itself?

A: 169.254.219 / 255.255.0.0

G: 0.0.0.0

D: 0.0.0.0 / 0.0.0.0

This usually happens, whenever the Xbox is unable to get an IP address from your router.

The 169.254.XXX.YYY adresses are auto assigned by the console itself, if it can't find a DHCP server. Sice you said your WLAN worked fine, I guess DHCP was working properly before, which leads me to believe that either the network port of the console or
router are faulty, or the cable itself.

If you say the last three are constantly changing from 0 to other numbers, it means that in these times, the console could properly get an IP Address for the Gateway (G) and DNS Servers (D). This should however also change the "A" adresses.

Therefore my guesstimate could also be, that the cable you got is either of low quality, and outside noise interferes with the cable, or it is faulty with a bad contact. Or maybe the bad contact is in the ports of your router or console itself.

So if possible, can you bring the console to a friend with a different router or modem, and try it with your cable if that works? Maybe have your friend try a different cable that he is sure that it works?

The issue seems to be "inside" your network, as the console doesn't get a proper address to get "outside" to the Internet and Live in the first place.
