On board Nic

I have a on board LIC that is not seeing my DHCP router insteady it says 169.245.62.162 and I have a lan connection that's hidden but no device on pc shows 169.254.173.16 I was able to use my Nic until a few days ago, how can I fix this or do I nee a new Card?
 
Solution
Unfortunately lots of things can cause that, all it means is the computer thinks the lan port is active but did not receive a IP. To rules out the DHCP you can try to hard code a IP address. After that it can be cable issues or driver issues or in worst case a nic that partially failed.
