The cables are definitely "clicked" in all the way,..enough you actually hear it click when you insert it. Had a few jobs where it just wash't sitting right. You can also try jiggling the cable slightly to see if it makes a connection.
The other thing you can try is it to set Ethernet Network manually adding in your IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Router address. e.g. if you use a Netgear Router is 192.168.0.1, Subnet is normally 255.255.255.0 and pick a higher IP address that other devices aren't using e.g. 192.168.0.50 Click OK and see if it gets a green dot for Ethernet and then internet works. Could try a PRAM reset anyway,..never hurts,..lol. And when you moved the folder to the desktop (SystemConfiguration) it definitely moved it and didn't just make a copy of it (and left it there in Library/Preferences folder).
