Is the laptop plugged in to the power supply when you are attempting to connect to the Ethernet cable?

Either in the Local Connection properties, NIC Device Manager or Power Management, you will find the option for the laptop to turn off the NIC to conserve power. Turn this off. I personally hate dealing with this feature.
