[SOLVED] Ethernet connected but no internet

[atlasgaming20]

I just replaced my mobo and cpu today and everything's running smooth, but I don't have internet even though my ethernet cable is plugged in. I've tried reinstalling drivers and swapping ports but nothing worked.

Try another cable.

Can you get into your router configuration screens. If not then you either have the ethernet mis configured or you are missing some driver for the motherboard. The default ethernet configuration is best set it to obtain a ip and dns automatically if it is not already that.

Run "ipconfig /all" via the Command Prompt and post the results.

I tried ipconfig in my command prompt and it didn't work. I just got "Windows IP Configuration"

Are you connecting directly to the modem or going through a router?

Your likely missing the driver for the motherboard. It is as thought the ethernet does not even exist.

Directly to the modem

How would I get it with no internet? LOL

Directly to the modem

I would give this a try - https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=132465

Sometimes the ISP has a certain MAC address logged and it makes things go crazy if you change the motherboard (since you'll change the MAC address).

If it really is a driver issue, you'll need to find another computer to download the driver and transfer it to your computer (though you did say in the original post you tried reinstalling the drivers).

They come on a cd with the motherboard. Unfortantly most people don't put optical media players in their machines anymore

I got an error saying "This operation has failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation"

I see.. would I just need to use my laptop and get the drivers with a USB?

I realize now that it might be a router and not a modem, that's my bad. It's a Verizon one though

I've been trying to install my BIOS and LAN drivers (unless that's not what I need) to no avail, BIOS is just a .cap file which I have no idea what to do with and the LAN driver just doesn't install.

I got it working! Thank you all for your help. I managed to find the right drivers and that got it working.
