I've been experiencing random wired internet outages and traced it down to my top ethernet port on my MB, so i tried using the bottom ethernet port and it's working fine. I put my ethernet cable back in the to port and still no wired internet connection. I thought reinstalling the intel network driver would fix it but still the same problem. I find it odd that a ethernet port on a brand new MB is going bad so early, Is there a common issue of ports going bad on this port version ?
