Hi! After a recent power outage while my PC was in sleep mode, I don't have wired (Ethernet) connectivity.  Please help me restore connectivity.  Thanks! Details: Dimension E510XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, SP3 I have never had an issue with wired connectivity on this PC after coming out of sleep mode.  Of course, the power failure was unusual. Observations: - ipconfig /all shows that I have an IP address - I can ping the DHCP server listed in ipconfig /all and I also can ping google.com. - I was going to go a restore point set before the power outage.  But, somehow system restore had gotten turned off.  :emotion-10:  Oh, well.  I did go ahead and turn system restore back on. Things I've already tried that did not solve the issue: - Reboot - Uninstall/reinstall the network adapter driver.  Device Manager says the network adapter card is working properly. - Looked for an updated network adapter driver on Dell's website.  Turns out that I have the latest driver already. - Followed many of the steps from Microsoft at [URL] - Checked McAfee Security Center firewall permissions list to see if something got changed.  Everything looked okay.  Also disabled the firewall just to be sure, - Disabled SafeEyes internet filter. - Reset the router.  Also swapped router ports with a known good PC.  The known good PC still had connectivity, the affected PC (the E510) did not.
After power failure, no wired connectivity
