Is it possible? That is the only possible explanation I can conclude.

Wireless works great by the way.
Anyway, my friend’s internet connection via RJ-45 to DSL modem was working fine when suddenly the connection drops. The cable works fine because we hooked another laptop with the cable to modem and there was an internet connection. Tried the 1501, but still no internet connection. I plugged it into my modem (at home) wouldn’t connect, but then I checked at work (came in early) there would be a connection and when I would unplug it and plug it back in (the ethernet port) there wouldn’t be any blinking. I tried again and there was the connection! Now, though, it won’t connect. Agaom. wireless works though. So, is it possible for integrated ethernet to short out? There hasn’t been any internal work done on the laptop. Thoughts?
