    do you know if your nic is working? go to device manager and check that all your devicing are listed and working

    Unless your modem has router capabilities, (which it probably doesn't), reboot the modem and comp when you switch the cable - power up the modem first, let it get connected to the ISP and then the comp. When you switch back, do the same.
