What exactly is happening?

Uninstall the driver in Device Manager, right click my computer, click on properties, click on hardware and device manager.

well it is giving a unusual ip address which is causing my computer not to have any internet access at all so I got told replacing the hardware may fix it.

Try this:

Start > Run
Type in IPCONFIG
Press on the reset all button and see if you can get online.
