169 IP address error and unidentified network

Hi all you'll have to forgive me I'm using kindle because I cannot access internet on desktop PC

Reason why is last night I could get no connection - spoke with faults and they advised a few diagnostics, after checking ip config via cmd it's showing 169.254.39.81 on IPv4

I've done the release / renew procedure but no luck. I've manually entered some data in the adapter properties settings but reverted back to automatic detection when this didn't work. I've pin-reset the hub, I've connected the Ethernet cable from hub to internet TV and I receive internet on that device. My wireless works fine on my kindle & smart phone. The other Ethernet cable going to TiVo box downstairs is okay and gives me a 192. Address in the TiVo network settings. For some reason I cannot access internet on my PC. Faults advised my super hub is okay as its sending data and my wireless is fine.

Could the internal RJ45 port on the back of my PC suddenly go faulty and give up the ghost? When the e-cable is connected to the RJ45 port I get the green & Orange led lights which according to my PC manual suggests its linked & ready for 100mbps

If I install the nVidia nForce adapter how will I reinstall if I am unable to connect to internet to d/load latest drivers?

Any advice would be appreciated as I'm at a loss now how to get internet back on desktop PC
