    I'm using a Realtek LAN Card in my M-1022, and most of the time when I plug any LAN cable in, it just stalls forever on Acquiring Network Address, then finally gives me the Limited or No Connectivity message. I've just about tried everything, and that it is probably a hardware problem. It's not the cable or the router as I've tried all sorts. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Are you sure under the TCP/IP the obtain ip automatically is ticked?
    When it says limited, see what's missing. IP,gateway,subnet, etc.

    your router may not be set to give out an ip.
