    Got a big problem.

    From a minute to minute, network adapter stoped working - it means, when i put a lan cable in the computer, it writes still it isnt there..

    Tried not only one cable, at home and at work - Not working :(

    I can only connect by Wifi :(

    have you checked if you have the latest drivers? try getting in the latest and see if it works.

    It could also be a problem with the cable port on the system... since you said both at work n at home you have this issue, probably the port is having some issue...

    But first try with the driver and see if it works.
