Sounds like a device driver problem. Can you get into safe mode with networking?

I agree with trey. It's possibly a corrupt driver or driver conflict...try what trey suggested and if you can plug that cable in and it works, it's a driver conflict. If it still doesn't work, you may want to either uninstall the driver or get the latest drivers from your NIC(mobo for onboard LAN) manufacturer's website. Or you can try getting drivers off www.driverguide.com
