I just started up my computer and I can't connect to the internet. My Ethernet cable is not showing up in device manager either.

Check your cable -- it might be damaged. Get a fresh Cat5e or Cat6 and test it.
if not, make sure your NIC is being recognized.
Usually these problems are on the physical layer.
