    You are connecting via an Ethernet cable? Did you check the cable? Did you check your adapter setings? Did you call your cable company?

    Did your broadband company (be it cable or dsl) come out and test the line when they installed it? If it's a brand new line the first thing I would do is call them up and talk to them about it.
