LAN Port is screwing up on my laptop?

I've had this problem before but it went away with a system restore, but now it has returned. I have a 3-month-old HP DV6-2120tx notebook which appears to have a faulty LAN port. When I boot up the computer normally and I plug in the cable, it comes up with a yellow exclamation mark in the notification tray saying "<SSID> No network access". However, when I boot the computer in Safe Mode With Networking and plug the cable in it runs fine. Then when I reboot it from safe mode to normal boot, the port works for a while then it comes up the same error message and I'm back to square one. I installed the latest driver for it but it is still happening.

Update:

And you need to read the last sentence. The LAN driver is completely up-to-date.

Update 2:

Yeah robba I'd have worse problems...lol

    Almost all NEW hp's will have a LAN to WLAN switching feature in the BIOS. Disable this and boot. If that doesn't work disable your WIRELESS (yes, WIRELESS since you said something about SSID) and reboot. If that doesn't fix it replace your wire and try another port on the router/hub. Good luck!
