This is suggestive of a hardware problem.  Can you ping the router?  Can 
you ping ANYTHING inside your network?  Just about anything will do, a 
laptop . . . ?   Do you see a "link light" on the back of your Alpha? 
How about a link light on whatever device your Alpha is connected to?
The lack of a link light would be STRONGLY suggestive of a hardware problem.
