A few days ago my laptop could connect to internet through the ethernet cord just fine, but now all of the sudden i am not getting any internet. I tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling, didn't work. I tried command prompt solution which didn't work. I disabled wifi. I am not sure whats wrong. The ethernet is clearly connected as the led light is on.
 
With WiFi off and ethernet cable plugged in, open a command prompt and type this:

1) ping 127.0.0.1
2) ping (your router's ip address)
3) nslookup www.google.com
4) ipconfig -all

Report back what it displays with each one. For #4 do not tell us what your MAC address is.

208.67.222.222 is registered to Open DNS, that must be configured at either your router or PC as it would normally go to the DNS of your ISP.

What do you mean you are connected direct to the internet? Does that mean you disconnect your router (what provides wireless) and now that laptop is the only computer connected to the internet??

If your IP is 192.x.x.x or 169.x.x.x then posting the IP will do you no harm. If it is anything else then that then it is your WAN IP and you should not post it.
And dont list ipv6 address or physical address. Everything else can be helpful.
