Problems connecting my laptop to the internet via ethernet cable

Hi Guys and Gals;

I have an Inspiron 6000 laptop, that I want to connect via an ethernet connection to my network. When I use it with the wireless card all is fine and dandy. The problem I'm encoutering is when trying to connect it to the ethernet cable. I keep getting a message that the network cable is unplugged. I get the message for about one second and then it says connected for another second and back again. I believe I've tried more that twenty solutions from different forums without success.

I got this report to see if someone can assist with this nagging issue.

Try another cable.

 

I've tried another cable, another port and nothing.
