If you still have no joy.
1: Turn the Router and PC both off.
2: Turn on the Router and give it a couple of minutes to settle down, THEN turn the PC back on and see what you`ve got Internet wise.
Yes but still no internet Bud.

Personally I would disconnect the ethernet and see if the mouse starts behaving. If it does it could just be as simple as a faulty cable. Or as big as a failed ethernet controller.
If that doesn't work you clearly have bigger issues. Next stop would be to make sure there's nothing else faulty, maybe try unplugging the keyboard or eject any discs in the CD/DVDROM. Also make sure any other peripherals are unplugged. Or try a different mouse if you have one.
I tried disconnecting the ethernet cable, and the mouse is back to normal. I don't think it is the ethernet cable because I have switched that to this PC which works fine.

Yes Dai still stuck. I have managed to find this report, don't know if it helps. Could it be something to do with the internet settings?
