internet/ethernet cable/ports not working

[Special]

for a few weeks now my ethernet ports have been playing up

to make it work i have to turn my laptop off, unplug the ethernet cable, plug it back in & start laptop back up

i did this more than 10 times yesterday taking more than half an hour just to connect to the internet


i've already tried using 4 different ethernet cables & have used 2 different wall ports so i'm sure it's my laptop port that's messing up

it's got to the stage where i have to leave my laptop on overnight because i'm afraid it's going to totally stop working

i've looked on google but nothing makes sense really

anyone got any suggestions?

reset my laptop after doing that & it it connected first time, looks like it's sorted it out, thank you
