If this is the improper method, then yes:

Question: "Where’s the on / off switch?
Answer: "To switch on: just plug it in! To switch off: remove power."

I realize now in submitting this that switch on/off is different from shutdown. I will investigate a corrupt SD. Any other suggestions?

it might be your local network issue. DO you use DHCP or static IP?
If you use DHCP make sure your router is configured properly and the right connection is assigned to your RPi. If you use static IP make sure you have all the informations right-IP address, DNS server, etc, etc..
Did you try ping google ? by doing this you should be able to see if your connection works properly
