i hardly use the ethernet socket. im just wondering is there anything else i can do or install? chipset/drivers....

i had a problem with my i.e browser and others finding a net connection, something to do with a proxy server, i checked internet explorer settings (local area connection) and cleared the information from there and deleted avg antivirus and now its working again....

there is nothing in the bios which shows 'onboard lan' to be enabled or disabled.
the driver for the lan says its installed successfully yet doesnt show when i restart.
there is no unknown devices showing in device manager..
i've tried safemode

is it worth buying a usb ethernet socket from ebay for under £3.00 will i get the same speed?
