Presumably you have tried a different ethernet lead just in case it was that that sufferred?

Chances are though that you damaged the socket in the lappy. You can check if the pins have been twisted otherwise you have to assume the socket has been pulled off an internal mounting. A repair shop may be able to open the lappy up and check that out - have a look for a local shop rather than the PCworld type place.

You should be able to get an ethernet to USB adaptor as an alternative connection. Alternatively some PCMIA cards could provide an alternative ethernet port.
