The 169.xxx.xxx.xxx network is provided by IANA for computers to use that don't have a static IP address or can't obtain an IP address from their DHCP server.

Your computer isn't getting an IP Address for a reason.

Check link lights first. If you have link lights, you should be able to get a DHCP address

If that doesn't work, manually set your IP Address to 192.168.1.123, subnetmask to 255.255.255.0, default gateway to 192.168.1.1, and dns servers as: 192.102.249.3, 192.102.249.9

Once that's set you should be able to get out.

If not, try pinging the router (ping 192.168.1.1) You should get replies. If not, it's a cable issue.
