I set up another user account and the Ethernet port still does not

This is a Leopard machine, scratch loaded a few weeks ago. Otherwise
it works fine.
Do you really think the problem is with OSX and not hardware?

What does "About this Mac" say as to your ethernet ports? That is in the
system profiler?

OK, I got an important update. Oxford... you are correct. I created a
new user and logged on to that one and it made no difference. However,
this morning I booted up into XP with Boot Camp, and the ethernet port
works perfect under XP. So somehow Leopard has hosed the network port.
How do I straighten this out, I know in Windows I could just delete
the description in Device Manger and let Windows re-create it, but
here I am at a loss.

I'm not sure how you'd go about it in Leopard, but in Tiger you could go
into "Network Port Configurations" in the Network pane of System
Preferences and once there, you could completely delete and then
recreate the Ethernet port.

I would imagine something similar exists in Leopard, but I know the
Network pane has been extensively revised so I'm not sure of the details.

I got it to work, I had to create a new "location" and it works in the
new one but not the old one.
