If you cannot ping your gateway IP address, then you have a local problem.

FWIW, I have two network interfaces on my desktop and one just died for 
some strange reason.  No software indication of a problem but I would 
not get a link light.  Used the other interface with no problem.

Check your link lights on your hub/router for your port.  Also see if 
the link light comes on when you plug your cable in and goes off when 
you remove the cable.  This is the first thing I would check.

If you have two ports, see if the second port isn't the one that is 
getting configured.
