Hi everybody,
I suddenly lost the ability to connect to the internet through cable. I think it is related to the security update addressing a vulnerability in kerberus earlier today (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3011780). I have no idea what it does, but I'm reasonably sure that it happened just after the update.
The network connection keeps cycling between "identifying" and "network cable unplugged".
I'm running windows 7 on an older lenovo laptop and I've tried rebooting, system restore, reinstalling the drivers, removing lenovo's connectivity program, uninstalling the security update manually but all to no avail.
A thread with a similar problem led me to try changing the "link speed and duplex" from "auto negotiation" to "10 mbps full duplex" under the advanced tab of the network connection properties, this gives me a network connection but no internet access.
Connecting the cable through the side of the computer changes nothing compared to connection through the docking station.
I can access the internet just fine through wifi.
Any ideas? Any help will be much appreciated.
