This problem is really baffling me because I had the same problem on my old computer and router...and even now with a new computer and router I have the same problem....

 

 

Basically....when I plug the ethernet wire into my computer the internet doesn't work.

When I plug it into the usb adapter and plug that into my computer....it works.

 

Maybe I shouldn't care but, I think without the USB adapter I would get a better speed etc?

Maybe your network hardware is broken? did you try to put in a new ethernet card?

 

Well it hasn't been working since it's been brand new...and the same can be said for my other completely unrelated computer.

 

I don't really want to do something drastic like like that when it might not be that problem.

 

*edit* I think the network stuff is built into the motherboard?......

If you have a spare Ethernet cable (or grab one from a different computer if available) try testing it by plugging it into the Ethernet port, just for the process of elimination
