How sure are you about the network cable? Don't start mucking about with
hardware until you have verified cables and connections.

If you remove the Ethernet card with the MP on, then reinsert it, does the
card ID itself correctly? Or at least does a dialog box opens that displays
something better than "unrecognized card." If you have a laptop handy you
might try using it to test the card.
