Are there any network settings anywhere in Vista's hierarchy where you turn on or off settings for cable networking?
My vista x64 laptop can network to the wireless router that it's sitting next to with no problem. But I also have it plugged into the router. When I turn off the wireless radio (there's a switch in front), I cannot network. Note that if I plug the same network cable from the back of this laptop into another laptop, it networks fine. Therefore, the router and cable are working fine. Note also that I was able to connect by cable just days ago, but I disconnected this laptop to take it to school and brought it home and now when I try to use it through the cable, it doesn't work. This is rather important to me because my apartment experiences a lot of interference and I'm trying to do some long running operations on a cluster at school.
When I try the network troubleshooter, it reports that my device drivers may be out of date (they're not), or it tells me to plug in a cable (it is plugged in, that's the point!). Any idea what's wrong?
I've tried resetting the PC and the router and everything, with no luck.
