O2 Wireless box II cant connect via Ethernet cable

Hi,
i have been with o2 for a very long time and its all been working fine....only since last couple of days. i can connect via wireless but not through ethernet cable, first i thought it could be my ethernet card on the pc but i have checked it with my laptop and its same.
i have done the re-set box....with button and switching on and off....

Strange...I'll assume you've changed the ethernet cable.
Try a factory reset using a paperclip or cocktail stick into the small hole at the rear of the router.

Have you tried using a different ethernet port on the back of the box?

Did you ring O2?
I would normally have said this was a pc issue, but you seem to have answered that, so maybe a faulty router.
