Windows 7 on wired network fails to find or connet

[bleweagle]

My Windows 7 laptop works Fine at home on my broadband with a wired connection,
When I take my laptop downtown and try to connect to a company network, via a wire, windows 7 fails to find the connection.

Please advise

Check with the company support staff where you are trying to use the laptop in. Could be a bad jack in the room, bad cable, may need a static IP, several other issues.
