Ethernet suddenly stopped working. Totally stumped.
Hey guys,
So I was watching some TV online last night and my Ethernet connection decided to stop working. I've restarted the PC, the router, made sure all connections were solid, replaced cables, installed drivers, reinstalled drivers, updated the BIOS, checked settings, everything I can think of. I even tried the Windows troubleshoot option, which throws up something rather curious.

I tried searching the forums, but Microsoft posted their usual "Have you tried ?", to no effect.
I have no idea what's wrong with this thing, or what to do. Any and all help appreciated, though if the answer is just to buy an Ethernet card I'll run out the door this moment, pyjamas or no.
HALP.
