Hello Tom's Hardware. I'm having a problem with connecting to my network. I'm using a wired connection and I either get "Unidentified Network" (see screenshot) or it doesn't recognize the cable is plugged in at all. When I go to the Local Area Connection properties I see "Packets sent" going up but my "Packets received" is at 0. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit OS on a computer I put together. Previous to this it was working fine for 2+ years. Just happened suddenly, I was using my on-board ethernet but I have also tried an Ethernet card to no avail. I'm the only one on the network that has this problem. I'm posting from a MAC on wireless and i have other computers/devices on wired and wireless connection.

I've tried:
Reformating
Restore point (before reformating)
I do not have Bonjour in msconfig services
I've checked the DCHP - it is set to automatic
I've installed drivers - Here
I've reset the Winsock and such.
Here is my ipconfig /all log:
