I checked it, it is enabled. Also the networking icon in the corner of screen has an x through it but the networking lights on the back of my computer and the router lights both show a connection

Right click on the icon that has the X through it, see if "enable" or "repair" is an option. Also check device manager and make sure the network adapter isn't disabled in there.
