No Internet Connection

[Guest]

I have had a small network in my home for a few years now. At this time my
wife's computer won't connect to the internet. At first it had low
connectivity. Now it says that it is connected but it isn't. I get a weird
IP address (169.254.36.30) when connected. I was using a Linksys BEFSR81
router that recently died (only operates at 10 half MPS now) and a D-Link
DI-524 wireless when this happened. Interestingly I received a notice that
the computer had restarted after it downloaded an important update. How it
connected for this I have no idea. Any ideas out there?

One of these two items might help.

1. Click Start, Run, type:

netsh winsock reset

Press Enter key

Restart the system

2. You can also try this software download from a working machine:
