Go to Network Connections and check if LAN or High-Speed Internet Connection icon says connected in the second line and the lan card model is quoted in the third line.

I get the same problem with my Airtel boradband with beetel modem. I just have to switch it off and on to make this work. Can't seem to get a proper explanation or solution to it... []
