    Wired connection not working


    There was a thunderstorm yesterday, and my power shut off for a moment. I heard a loud pop from my computer as it shut off, and am fearful that something went wrong.

    Today, I noticed that my network access was really slow, and it seems that my computer is using wireless, and not the wired connection i normally use. It is showing up as "unidentified netowrk" with "No network access" checking the properties on it, I have 0 packets sent. I have a static ip address, and so i disabled this to see if it is something with that. Now i get a default 169.254.x.x, and have no gateway.

    I have:
    run the windows troubleshooter
    reset the router
    reset the computer
    replaced the network cable
    changed ports on the router
    ipconfig release / renew
    netsh winsock reset
    forced a valid static ip again

    Note that the wireless is still working fine for all devices, but i cant get the wired connection working at all. Please help

    Yellow light is flashing from my pc. green from my router.
    This seems weird to me. doesnt the yellow light indicate 10mb/sec?

    Got me to check the properties on the ethernet controller. It indicates that the linkspeed is indeed 10mb/sec, while gigabyte tells me its a gigabit connection (GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1150 - GA-Z97X-SLI (rev. 1.0))

    The onboard network port is out. I bought a new card, and it is working fine.
    Its a real shame, as the board is already defective after only 4 months...
