Dell Vostro v13 ethenet connection problem

[billberry12]

I can not get it to recognize the connected cable. The router works with other computers, the cable works with other computers, and my computer says the adapeter is working properly. I uninstaled and reinstalled and udated driveers. Same results. The adapter is a Realtec PCIe GBE Family controller. When I go to advanced properties, I see many options of things to enable or disable. They are greek to me. I feel something is not enabled correctly. Can anyone tell the the correct setup to get this to work?
Thanks,
Bill

FYI

My adapter was fried. But it didn't show anywhere in Device manager that is was. Never had this happen in all my years of computing.
