Built in network adapter not working

I have a computer that somehow is connected to the internet but does not let me browse the internet.

its a windows XP Professional

I use a wired connection DSL ethernet with a built-in network adapter not a NIC.
ive checked the wires and tested the DSL box on this computer and it works great.

here is a report on the connection:

looks like DHCP is not being found (ie 169.254.67.214 is the clue)

make sure your firewall is active and that ports 67-68 are allowed
 
thank you for replying Jobeard :)

ive checked and the firewall is active, the computer was on PS2 but yesterday i installed the PS3
it didnt have a firewall before until the PS3 was installed.
