Check your cards driver status in Device Manager.Failing that,or any of the above idea`s,sometimes just un-installing your network card/s from the Device Manager then rebooting to re-install them works wonders.

I had someone yesterday who`s wired connection had also suddenly stopped working,although that was 2 or 3 weeks ago but it turned out to be(after checking most of the above) all the BT Internet Crapware she`d installed from the cd that was corrupting the networking.As soon as i removed said Crapware all her networking was back to normal again.
