It couldn't be that the ethernet adapter got disabled by error somehow? Another thing, what security software are you using? Could it be that your ethernet connection is blocked by your anti virus/firewall? I use Eset and I have a similar issue, I think, though it is with my wireless.

For some reason this connection suddenly stopped working and I somehow got it running again using the wireless connection. I have obviously checked that the wire is properly connected to both PC and rooter. Can somebody please give me a simple step by step guide as to how I re-establish the wire connection or determine where the fault is. Thanks for any help.
