The problem you have is network cable unplugged,its not even detecting the cable plugged in,this points more to a hardware failure.

well I feel a complete idiot, the cable I got from ntl was the wrong one, went to a friends house who had just had broadband fitted took one look at his cable and realised I had been plugging the wrong sort of cable in, got a cat 5 cable this morning, put it in, booted windows, switched zonealarm off, and hey presto it's working!, the cable I was using was like telephone wire with two ethernet connections? does ethernet run faster than usb because it seems a lot faster?
