Cant connect to router via ethernet but...

[morden]

Hi, somehow my router became inaccessible overnight. I am able to connect to the router via wireless connection but I cannot connect to it thru ethernet cable. Ive tried 3 different ethernet cables but still no luck??? I reset my router settings back to default but still am getting the same outcome Any suggestions? I hope the ethernet part of the router isnt toast?

Try a different computer so you can isolate.

I forgot to mention that I was able to get internet on my computer just by hooking up the internet cable directly to it from the modem.

UPDATE: Well after some fiddling around with the router by connecting the cables to each of the 4 LAN ports, I've discovered that ports 1 & 2 are not working whereas I can get a connection with ports 3 & 4. There's a possibility that a connector or some component for the first 2 ports is now broken/fried/etc? I'll contact Asus to see if they can send me a replacement.
