Computer Problem can't connect to internet??

Question

alright this is most definately the strangest problem I've had and i'm absolutely confused(I'm usually pretty good with computers but read on)

alright the keyboard tray in my desk is a little broken so from time to time it gets bumped and falls to the floor, so i accidentally bumped the tray the keyboard and mouse fell to the floor the keyboard landed keyside down.
This caused my computer to go screwy and go into standby mode, I could not get out of standby mode so I turned the computer off and on.
when my computer turned back on everything was fine except it wouldn't connect to the internet, I checked the internet connections and device manager and there my ethernet card is not showing up I tried to detect it using add new hardware but it will not show up. The ethernet card is built into the motherboard. The light is working where the ethernet cable is plugged in(green if plugged in yellow if not). windows does not detect whether the cord is plugged in or not, I tried system restore

but it had no effect, I'm completely confused. I have no idea how dropping the keyboard could cause this mess. Please someone let me know if you have any ideas on how to fix this problem

my other computer is connected fine so it's not the router or modem or internet connection it must be something to do with the computer that's not working.
