Can't connect internet, Unidentified Network

I did that and it still doesn't work. Is it a DHCP problem? DHCP is enabled though and IPv4 has nothing beside it under "Network Connection Details". Neither does DNS server.

When I try to connect to the internet, it just says "identifying" then says it is an "unidentified network". I've tried:

Resetting the modem
Checked all cables
Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers
Disabled & enabled the drivers
It's set to automatically connect to DNS
Updating the ethernet with the latest from Microsoft
Ran ipconfig /release and renew
Tried another modem and new cables
Tried other houses with DSL & Cable internet

I installed a USB wireless device which worked when I tested it in wireless areas. But so far nothing has worked for the wired part. At one point before all this started, the internet worked intermittently and would work at other houses perfectly. So I assumed it was my modem or connection at my house. But then I plugged another PC into my modem and it worked instantly. So I know there is no physical problem with my connection, modem or cables.

Just re-reading your posts trying to determine what the issue might be and noticed the above quoted comment. Yes it does seem to be a DHCP issue, but I suspect that the underlying problem is with the current driver so I've the correct driver here. So...
download it to a folder of your choice and extract the zip file contents to that folder.
Open device manager, expand network adapter, right click the nvidia nforce 10/100/1000 adapter and choose update driver software, then browse my computer, then let me pick,
then have disk, then the browse button and locate the folder where you extracted the file mentioned above. Double click the nvfd6264.inf and complete the driver installation. Reboot the computer and see if that helps with your problem. If you have any problems getting the file from my skydrive let me know and I'll try to get it to you through other means.
Keep us posted.

I uninstalled my network driver completely the restarted (restarted modem too), then installed your driver and it's still not working. Is it possible that the LAN part of the PC is physically damaged?

That is definitely one possibility. Have you contacted the manufacturer to see if they have some experience with this particular issue (like a bios update or a bios setting that needs to be adjusted for Win7) I suppose they will just tell you to return it to it's default factory condition using their restore utility before they will offer much help? Is it still under warranty?

I'm going to give up now and see if warrenty will fix this. If not then I'm buying a wireless router and USB wireless dongle.

Thanks for all the help guys!
