Hello TheIrishNarwhal! I had the same internet issue recently, on my new computer.

I was able to fix it by installing the ethernet drivers manually, which I received on the "motherboard disc" that came along with my PC.

I've found couple of links, though I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for. I guess you could give it a try, and hopefully sort it out.
