Question Computer won't recognize ethernet cable

[QueenGodiva]

Hello!

I just woke up to a problem - my PC does not recognize that I have an ethernet cable plugged in when it was working fine previously. I tried the ethernet cord on my work computer and it works fine. I tried another ethernet cable on my PC that has not ever been used, doesn't work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling network drivers. I have tried a system restore, doesn't help. I am truly at a loss of what to do next.

If you still have the disk with drivers that you got with your motherboard and try installing drivers that way It might work. At least for me it did once

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS.

What ethernet port are you using: motherboard, PCIe slotted, or perhaps USB-Ethernet adapter?

Is the PC to Router Ethernet connection direct (PC --- Router) or via some wall jack, switch, powerline adapter?

On your PC open Reliability History and look for errors codes or warnings - especially any that are network related.

Are you able to run and post the results of "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) via the Command prompt?

More information needed.
