my ethernet jack is not working. I have a inspiron 1525 notebook and have only had this laptop for less than 30 days. It was working less than 24hours ago and now when i plug the ethernet cord back in and try to connect it, the internet does not appear. It gives me an error message and asks me if i want to diagnose the problem. When i click yes to diagnose, it tell me that the cable is not plugged in. The cord is fine because it works properly in my desk top. The lights on the side of the laptop does not even blink as they use to once the ethernet cord is plugged in. Did i turn something off by accident or what? HELP PLEASE.

Check the status of the Ethernet in Device Manager.
