Ethernet no longer working

I had the Graphics card and Power supply upgraded too but I don't see that being the cause for my issue.
All is well with the new PC except now for some reason the Ethernet doesn't seem to work.
I've done all Windows Updates. Even downloaded the Ethernet driver from Lenovo's website.
Still nothing is making it work.
WiFi works fine.
This is my latest speed test via WiFi - http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4387142998
When I plug in the Ethernet cable it'll sometimes say its connected or limited. But I cant load any pages or do anything with it.
I did some research on this and some people believe its an issue with Windows 8/8.1 but I am unsure. Can anyone help?

That sounds like the cable and port are working (sort of), but there is possibly an IP conflict between the wifi and ethernet connections on the PC. Have you set a static IP for the PC either in the network card settings or on the router?

Have you tried using a different ethernet port on the router? Or simply powercycling the router (once you've disconnected the adsl from with the admin panel).

Also in my search to find answers people were mentioning something about LAN settings. For whatever reason I don't appear to have LAN anywhere on my Networks list. The WiFi is there, Ethernet is there too. I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem though.

Quote It seems to recognise it when its plugged into Port 1. But I just switched it over to Port 2 and its saying theres nothing connected to Ethernet.
Could very easily be a faulty port on the router. If it's one we've supplied and still within warranty I'll get a new one sent out to you if you like.

If that will fix this issue then sure that would be a big help.
If I am outside warranty what would be my option then?

If possible, try substituting a fresh cable.

Quote from: vilefoxdemonofdoom It could easily be a faulty cable - is it damaged or badly twisted?

Well the cable and router worked fine on my laptop before I got my new PC.
This is why I am confused. Since I've had them I have had no issues with either the cable or the router. I had no reason to believe that would change when I got my new PC.

The fan broke on that one, so I sent it off for repair. That's why I bought this PC. I use it for streaming/gaming which is why I need the ethernet
