Thanks for getting back to me.
I agree i should have no problem connecting at all this is the first time i came across this problem not been able to solve using what i have already done (usually wireless)
Yeah sorry there is no damage also tried a different ethernet cable as before i was using a cheap E45 cable i got from China or some where just because i needed 50m worth. so i went to maplins today and got a gold plated one thats 3meters and that still is having the same issue.
As suggested i checked over and installed the ipv4/6 and still no luck,
changed my advanced sharing settings,
and even changed my home group as its a work version of windows i changed it to home.
still nothing.
Any other advice would be great but its looking like im stuck, though i am changing IP and getting a new hub so see what happens then i guess.
Thanks again
