when i unplug my ethernet from my computer to play my xbox. when i plug it back in my computer it says limited or no connectivity after saying acquiring network address for a long time. what works for me is to unplug the modem from the wall while the ethernet is plugged in the computer and plug it back in after a couple of seconds, it does all that network stuff and connect completely after just a couple of seconds with no problem. it should automaticlly install the driver for it too.
