Ethernet has completely stopped working

Here is what happened:
This morning, my ethernet port was working just fine. I could and did connect to the internet.
I was working on my Windows side (recently installed Windows 7 from Windows XP Service Pack 3 on Boot Camp. Installed both the drivers from my original computer and the Boot Camp drivers up to 3.1)
I plugged in my external hard drive and was fooling around with a few things on it, then left it and continued to work on my computer. I wanted to safely eject the external hard drive so, I went to the eject option. It told me that a program was still using it and I was not able to eject it. When I had this problem on my Mac side, the recommendation was to simply log off and log back in and then I could eject it safely. Since that has worked on my Mac side, I tried it on my Windows side. However, after 10+ minutes of Windows "Logging me out" I got frustrated (I'm at work) and manually shut down the computer by holding down the power button.
I started my computer back up to my Mac side because I had some files on there that I wanted to put on my external hard drive. After doing so, I went back on my Windows side to find out that I could not connect to the internet. (The only way for me to connect to the internet at work is through an ethernet cable. Right now, I am using my co-worker's computer). It said that there was something wrong with the NVIDIA (SP?) ethernet program/whatever it is.
I logged back onto my Mac side and I am having the same problem, I cannot get my ethernet to connect. I tried a different port and that one didn't work either so it's not the ethernet port or the ethernet cable, it is definitely my computer.
Can I simply re-download the Boot Camp 3.1 driver and have it work again? Or is it something wrong with my ethernet jack period?
I don't understand why manually restarting my computer would have caused such a problem. I have done it before on my Windows side once and countless amounts of times on my Mac side (I have had my computer for a good 3/4 years now).
It is out of warranty which is why I came here with my problem. Hopefully someone knows how to fix it. Thanks in advance!

Disconnect all the cables from Linksys router.
Connect a computer to the Ethernet port 1 on Linksys router. Connect the power cable to the router. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router.
Now check the IP address on your computer.
If you are getting a valid IP address like 192.168.1.xxx then try to ping the IP address of the router 192.168.1.1 . If you get replies from the router IP address then try to access the setup page of the router.
If you are getting auto configuration IP address then assign a static IP address to the computer and then try to access the setup page of the router.
What IP address do you get when you connect the computer to the router?

  • Adobe reader has completely stopped working

    Win7 Professional 64bit, Core i7, 4GB, Reader 10.1.4.
    I have been using reader for more years than I can remember. I use it
    all day, every day - there is almost never a time when Reader is
    absent from my desktop.
    BUT... Today Adobe Reader completely stopped working.  I was using it
    quite happily this morning, on a PDF which I have opened dozens or
    even hundreds of times.  I needed to switch to another document - when
    I tried to open it, (or one of about 100 others I have also opened
    many times), I saw nothing appear on the screen, the cursor switched
    to pointer/busy, and then cleared after about 5 seconds.  The only
    indication that anything happened was a blind ACRORD32.exe process in
    the task list.    I rebooted - same result. I uninstalled Reader and
    reinstalled it from the Adobe download site.  Same result.  Reader is
    simply no longer functioning in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. This now happens
    EVERY time.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:

    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from

  • How do i fix my home button it has completely stopped working after i dropped it and now its frozen on the apple screen?

    so yesterday i dropped my iphone and the home key stopped working. i had to turn the phone completely off to change screens and get back to the home page. today i turned it off to get back to the home screen and now it is frozen on the apple screen. its been like this for about an hour or so. i plugged it into the computer and it still hasnt done anything. i try to reset it but of course since the home button isnt working it wont allow me to do so.
    does anyone know what to do besides taking it to apple?

    You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide.  If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • Ethernet Has Randomluy Stopped Working

    Hi folks. My ethernet on my Macbook has been working fine since I got it back in June, that is up until today. I typically don't use the ethernet, usually use the wireless, but decided today that I wanted to download a movie on itunes and figured it'd be faster using the ethernet. So I plug the cable in, and no connection is made. I look at my router and see that the light for that specific port isn't even on; the router isn't seeing the laptop at all. Took the laptop over to a friend's house with a completely different router; no luck. Tried hooking the laptop directly to the cable modem; no luck.
    The ethernet had been working in the past. I recently had the Apple Store replace a faulty trackpad, and haven't tried the ethernet since, so perhaps there's a connection between the two? I'm really getting annoyed; when a customer spends nearly $2k on a laptop, I don't expect things to keep going wrong. I use this product for work and if I have to send it away to get fixed, I lose money by not being able to do work. Any recommendations before I throw a tantrum in the Apple store?

    yeah, I had same issue with brand new Macbook the other day.
    Built in ethernet (not the wifi) wouldn't detect the live drop. Enabled root access, then opened terminal.
    Typing "ifconfig en0 enable" still showed the interface down
    and inactive. Called apple, tech agreed with my assessment, said to return to apple store and do a swap out.
    This computer was 2 days out of the store , btw

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 has completely stopped working (and Prelude too)

    I've used it for about a week now without issue (having just wrapped a project before updating).
    Tonight I imported AVCHD footage into Prelude, imported that footage into my PPro CC 2014 project, and began editing uneventfully.
    The work screen suddenly vanished. The menu bar at the top of the screen is still there. The Finder window says it's still opened, but does not show any working window.
    When I quit and restart, the splash screen finishes.
    Then the Welcome screen appears.
    I can click on my project, and it gives a quick progress meter as if it has opened it, but nothing appears.
    I can create a new project, and that file will be saved wherever I put it, but nothing appears.
    I read to move the Plug-in folder to the desktop. Unless I did it wrong, that seemed to do nothing.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled PPro CC 2014, and the problem persists.
    Help. I'm paying a big monthly chunk to you guys. If you can't give me an answer, please PM me the number of customer support whom I can call for assistance. I can't seem to find that number.

    Hi Brutewolf,
    You said you uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere Pro. Did you run the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool, as well? Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Also, get a case going with support here: Contact Customer Care

  • The sound on my Iphone 4 has completely stopped working.

    I can't hear any sound at all, except when my headphones are plugged in. If I do get the sound to work, as soon as I use the volume button it quits again. I have tried rebooting my phone, but I don't want to do any more than that because I am not the one who does the hardware work on my phone. My boyfriend does the work but he is about 20 hours away. The lock sounds will work for a little bit but when I try and listen to any of my ringtones it quits working again. I have uninstalled the app that I use for my ringtones but it did not wipe the ringtones out of my phone. I am at a loss of why my phone has sound one minute then quits then next.

    Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush.

  • My iPod's touch screen has completely stop working; what do I do?

    My iPod is older; I first got it not much after it came out (it's a second generation). So it's had a lot of wear and tear, with a small crack just under the home screen and more recently a larger one on the top left corner. But my iPod, near the end of it's life, began to freeze seemingly hourly and become slower (as expected; they only last so long). But one day, out of the blue, i was listening to music and went to unlock it to change the song; but the slider wouldn't... slide! So I restarted it, and when asked to put the passcode in, I couldn't because the touch screen was completely unresponsive. I've tried countless amounts of times- dead, while charging, fully charged- to restart it or power it off, but it won't respond! It isn't frozen though. And of course when I connected it to iTunes, it wouldn't work because I had to put my password into my iPod for it to connect :-/ Is my iPod (or more importantly some stuff on my notes that I really wish to have back) recoverable??

    One the 4G iPod Touch came with a build-in mic.  You need to purchase one or find the combined mic/earphones that came with the iPod when it was originaly purchased.

  • IPod has completely stopped working

    I received my 80 GB iPod near the end of May and it's worked perfectly until now. I left it to charge over the weekend and when I tried to use it today, it said the battery was "very low." However, when I plug it into the computer to charge, the computer only recognizes it for a few seconds before giving me the "device was not removed properly" message. The iPod was making a really weird noise -- the hard drive would hum, wine, and stop. Rinse and repeat. I unplugged it and it eventually stopped making the noise.
    I've tried the lock/menu+select thing, as well as resetting it on iTunes, but the latter just said there was an unknown error and neither worked.
    Why doesn't my baby love me anymore?

    Just bought a ipod nano for my daughter in law and same thing happened, froze up. Took back to shop and fixed in seconds.
    Quite common fault! Switch on and off hold button first, then press and hold down Menu button and also press and hold down the centre button. (do this together)
    The ipod then resets itself. You do not loose any music etc.
    Good luck

  • My IPhone 5 has been usesless since last night now the wifi and 3G has completely stopped working and only getting text messages and I'm not able to turn my phone off then back on because the lock button is broke,

    Really need help on how to try get my phone working again quickly thankyou.

    Are you and your wife sharing apple id?
    If you are that is the reason why she is seeing your imessage.
    On both phone go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell is the default.
    You will have to uncheck or remove the apple id.

  • I did a trial on CS6, then did not continue with it, but now my CS4 bridge is malfunctioning and raw has completely stopped working.

    I tried support chat, but they just said to try here. I bought CS4 under an old defunct email address and under my new address I do not even have a product registered. Adobe knows it is purchased in my name
    and I have the registration number, but since it is not my current ID they have decided to give me the brush off.

    Run the cleaner tool and reinstall your CS4 from scratch.

  • My Infinity Blade has completely stopped working. It simply dies out on the loading screen. I have tried all conventional ways of solving the problem, including restoring backups, deleting and redownloading the app, and nothing works. What do I do?

    Yeah, it just crashes on the loading screen every single time, and I have no clue what to do....

    Contact the developer
    Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
