I'm on campus dorm. Windows 7. Laptop hp Pavilion m6-1045dx

Wireless works fairly okay with a weak signal in my bedroom.



I've tried updating the driver both through windows and through the manufacturer's site and I have the latest updated version despite both tries.



Ethernet cable Cat-5e, tried this and a Cat-6 and neither worked

 
Solution
When I first took the screenshot I could have sworn I did it with the ethernet plugged in. But nevertheless I went back to do it a second time making sure it was plugged in and got the exact same. Curious enough-- I even unplugged the ethernet and made another ipconfig/all prompt and got the exact same as I did with the ethernet plugged in!

This was the last little bit of it that I seem to have forgotten though:

the same is also with the device manager, with the ethernet plugged in or not it gives me the exact same reading....:

turn off your wireless, using cmd prompt type "ipconfig /release" followed by "ipconfig /renew" followed by a "ipconfig /flushdns" then retry. if that doesn't work, go to your network and sharing center, right click and hit properties on your ethernet controller and double click internet protocal 4 and make sure that you're set up to automatically grab an ip.

I didn't seem to get any connection

I went to the network and sharing center and it was set up to automatically grab ip.
