When I run ipconfig /all I get the following information.

Does this line look correct? Physical Address. . . . . . :
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
Where is it getting this IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 169.254.27.165
This is not the address of my DHCP Server . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255

Where in the world is this system getting all this info from?
The network I'm trying to run this computer on is 192.168.0

Any help would be appreciated

2 things are happening

1) your computer cannot find a DHCP server, and thus is using
self-addressing.
2) your computer is having trouble getting the NIC configured properly, thus
you are getting a flase MAC address.

A 169.254.x.x address only means one thing. The DHCP server cannot be
contacted. Check your physical connections.
