dLAN plug problems

I recently had to change the motherboard on my computer as the old one kond of blew up on me. When I had set the new one up properly and the computer got up and running I plugged my dLAN plugs into the back of the computer like usual and the network connects to 'unidentified network'.

My internet set up is kinda weird so I will try to explain it:

My computer -> dLan plug -> Router -> Phone Line
Parents computer -> Router -> Phone line

The only thing that has changed to stop it working is that I have changed my motherboard.

If i type "ipconfig /all" in the cmd thing it comes up with the following

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethern
et Controller
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : <removed>
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::5c83:27f6:8bbf:331d%14(Preferred)
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.<removed>(Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : <removed>
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : fec0:0:0:ffff::1%1
fec0:0:0:ffff::2%1
fec0:0:0:ffff::3%1
NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled

I get the feeling that the Autoconfiguration should start with 192 like my wireless does but don't know how to change it. Have reset router, pc etc etc and nothing changes. I have also tried different ethernet cables and the software that comes with the plugs never did anything relating to the set up even when it all worked.
