I guess you have restarted your router?

Usually something like that can be one of many things. The first thing I do if I have any issues is restart the router - then replace the patch lead if that doesn't work. Failing that I would uninstall the NIC, nuke the dirvers and reinstall.

More info would be helpful.

open a command prompt and run ipconfig, and tell us what is output for IP Address.

Most likely the router. A simple loopback will tell you the NIC is good. A CAT5 loopback will show the cable and router port is good. Working the winsock would be the last option. $0.2

I think I saw this problem once , and I even had it many time's.The problem is that better plug your LAN & WAN cable's in your router , with your router and PC closed and then open the router and PC.It's a trick here , that you have to pay attention .

It's your NAT , ICS ? going fine ? try something like ipconfig /all .

It may help.
