As of yesterday, we can't get out to the internet at all with the network cable plugged in through the targus docking station.
The Ethernet on the dock does not support half duplex. If you plug it into a half duplex port (eg an Ethernet hub) you will see really slow Ethernet performance due to the collisions on the wire.

Could this be the issue?
