Wireless Works, Wired Doesn't - Starling Netbook

[vttay03]

--Well the subject says it all. I don't have any problems connecting to a wireless network with my Starling, but when I plug an ethernet cable in, it just sits there and tries to acquire an IP for a minute or so before timing out. This seems to be the opposite issue of what most people see; most people have wireless issues but their wired connection works fine. Any thoughts? I will say the last time I remember it working I setup an ad-hoc network to share the internet connection since the hotel we were staying in didn't have wireless. But I don't recall having any issues....any insight is appreciated.

Output of ifconfig -a is below:

Nevermind...I was having a tremendous brain fart and was plugging the wrong end of the ethernet cable into my Starling! I think it was the result of an extremely long day in which the last thing I felt like doing was figuring out why the wired connection wouldn't work. I apologize for the premature post...
