Why wait until the traffic dies down? LOL

Seriously, have you looked in device manager?

Go into device manager (Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager) 
and look at Network Adapters.  If there is a yellow exclamation point or some other 
abnormal indication there, double-click it and see what is wrong.  If it is a driver 
issue you might be able fix the driver there by getting / updating the driver from 
your O/S installation source.
