sounds like the software issue. go in to control panel go to system then hardware and device manager. look at the ethernet connection and see if there is any yellow exlamation mark, if there is, it needs updated drivers or theres a driver problem - software. if its not, then it could be the rj45 at faultNever do things tomorow when you can do them today.0

Try this: in IE, click Tools - Internet Options. On the Connections tab, click Setup and go through the New Connection Wizard. On the Network Connection Type screen, select 'Connect to the Internet', on the next select 'Setup manually' and then 'Connect using broadband...'.0
