Is your computer connected to a surge surpressor? First try running the diagnostics that came with the integrated network adapter. If it is an Intel adapter, the Intel ProSet software should have the diagnostics. If it is a Broadcom adapter, the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite should have the diagnostics.

First, run the Intel NIC diagnostics (they ought to be somewhere off the Start menu) and see what it has to say about things.
If nothing turns up there, reset the system hardware. Go into System Setup, and on the BIOS setup screen press and at the same time. The screen should flicker once, and the system clock will reset to a date a couple of years ago. Reset the clock to the right date & time, save settings, & exit BIOS. The system will automatically reboot. Once you’re back up, try for network connectivity again.
If none of THAT works, the NIC is probably toasted and your choices are (1) replace the motherboard, because the NIC is integrated, or (2) install an expansion-card NIC and use that.
