I thought so,it really has to be hardware related considering all you done was to change the PC Case,either that or its the drivers for your Ethernet Card,i take it you tried to update these?
Uninstall via the Device manager then reinstall?
Unplug it and plug it back in manually?
I tried to update the drivers, but the NVidia site was acting weird as well, I'll keep on trying. My Ethernet port is on my motherboard.
When I switched my case I switched one of the fans powered from the motherboard from a small one to a large one, would it be drawing power out and making other components (like my ethernet port) act differently? Just a thought.
And here's my properties.
Was that tcp/ipv4 from your wireless or LAN? in your ipconfig, there is no ipv4 or the LAN. Is there any issue that you can see in your Device Manager?
That was from the LAN, and in my Device Manager, it all seems fine.

From the looks of thing you might not have gotten the correct driver for your nforce LAN adapter.
Retry download the correct driver and install.

If issue, what error did u get?
After a gruelling search, I finally found a driver! But alas, it gave me false hope and failed me.
I tried out a Linux Live Cd (a little out dated version, but i'd imagine it would still work) and I STILL couldn't connect through LAN. So I assume this is a hardware issue, or some software paradox. I'm going to buy a Network card and see if that works. I'll let you know how it goes.
Something weird that happened as well: I couldn't connect to my OWN wireless network during this whole endeavour. It would just not accept the connection. Quite odd, thank god for my neighbours.
I would also like to thank you both for all your help, especially aem, your efforts to help this aspiring computer expert are very appreciated.
