Unable to connect to wired connection on clean W7 install

Hey everyone,

I recently upgraded my computer and decided to do a clean install of Windows 7 (64 bit)
My build is:
CPU: Intel i5 3470
MOBO: Asrock B75 Pro3-M
RAM: G.Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1333
GPU: Nvidia GTX 670
SSD: Plextor M5S 256GB
HDD: Samsung F3 1TB (OLD)
PSU: Corsair HX-850 (OLD)
CASE: Case: CM 690 II Advanced (OLD)
ODD: LiteOn (OLD)

I installed all the drivers from the AsRock wesite: ASRock > B75 Pro3-M

My modem setup is:
Modem: Netgear DM111Pv2
Router: Asus RT-N16

I have several computers connected to the internet so I do not believe it is the router's problem.

I ran Ubuntu using their live CD and internet worked so I do not believe it is the motherboard's problem.

Code:

C:\Users\Nick>ipconfig/all

How can I make it work?

If there is any more information needed, please ask.

Are you sure you have installed all the drivers for you mobo? You need the LAN driver, it's usually by itself as a stand alone driver but sometimes it's included with the chipset driver.

Yes I am sure. From the link I provided, I dowloaded and installed all the drivers including the LAN driver: Realtek Lan driver ver:7048

OK...great. Now are there any problems showing up in your device manager?

No, windows does not report a problem.

More Information:

I turned off the firewall and that doesn't seem to fix it.
I tried a different ethernet cable and that didn't work.
I am not sure what the problem is.

Can anyone help?

Check the cable or the actual physical connection jack.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Ok I looked at it with a torch and it looks fine. I don't think that is problem because Ubuntu works.

Have you tried reinstalling the driver?

Yes.
I went into device manager and uninstalled it from there and then install the LAN driver again. I also downloaded the file several times to make sure it wasn't corrupt.
