By "computer says that network cable is pluged in and working" I am guessing you are getting this info by an indication on your Network Preferences window?

Do you have any other computers that are connected to your network? Somehow you got to this forum. Any friends computers you can try on your network? Do any of them work OK?

Do you have your computer set for DHCP or a static IP address? What does your Network preferences show for an IP, subnet, gateway and DNS addresses?

Can you ping your router? Can you browse your router?

Does your email work?

Have you tried unplugging power to your router and modem? Have you rebooted your Mac?

As mentioned above swap out the network cable. If that does not work see if you have a friend that can plug in their computer to your network to see if they have the same problem.

Your choices would appear to be reloading the OS or take it to an Apple store.
