I'm guessing that this Ethernet jack has somehow gone bad.
Get a bright torch and shine it inside the socket and see if there's
crap on one
of the connectors. Also check to see if they look like they are the
same sort
of level and if not, try to (gently) lever the one(s) that are lower
up a bit.
Probably best to perform this operation with the power _off_!
If that doesn't work get a new card. Assuming PCI, it'll run you $5-$15.
/dan
it's a laptop
so no as easy as just replacing the card.
Since working on laptops is more like watch repair than computer
repair...I'd do things the easy way and use a PCMCIA card
Another possiblilty then is a broken solder connction between the
motherboard and the ethernet jack.
From experience, getting the case open is the worst part of laptoprepairs.
