Ok firstly how many other connecitons have you got ??
are you routered ? (Please say no I hate routers)
You are going to need to disable the USB connections is you haven't done so already. Do this by going into start control panel and network connections. Look for the USB and right click. Do unistall on it and then ok. The same with ANYTHING ELSE you have on there.
Then REMOVE the ethernet cable from your computer and power down.
Before you reconnect plug the ethernet cable back in. Let it find the network adapter, drivers etc.
Back to network connections. Right click on the only network connection that shouold be there now. click on install and client. Take out anything that doesn't say "client for microsoft netowrks" and Tcp/ip they are the only two you should have checked.
Make sur eyou have the right cable in the right place. Daft I know but I once went to fix a machine that had used the usb cable in the ethernet port !! Don't ask me how he did it I don't know
If that doesn't work then its either the network card or the cable thats broken. But from what you say it appears that you have too many LAN connections and the computer is confused over which to use. Let us know how you go.
