Hi guys,
so I've been using ethernet for a while now and its working great except when it doesn't.
This problem happened twice now in 7-8 months and I fixed it before but I can remember how. I'm not sure who to blame here, its either my hardware, the OS, the adapters or I don't know... Anyway
I use my Macbook for work stuff mostly and game on my Windows 10 PC. Yesterday the PC was working completely fine and when i woke up today it had no connection to the internet. I use 2 ethernet adapters and it was working fine. I changed the cables, but nothing. I have internet on my laptop via ethernet so... My first thought was the hardware. But the drivers are up to date and i fixed it before so it can't be that right?
I'm looking for solutions for a while now but couldn't find anything. I did the netsh resets etc. I reinstalled Windows10 from USB, clean of course, but still nothing. Obviously i have my ipconfig:

C:\Users\OhZeBe>ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration


Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

C:\Users\OhZeBe>ipconfig /all

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : AC-9E-17-EC-6B-32
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes


But i can't use most of the commands like ipconfig /renew because every time i do it says:
No operation can be performed on Ethernet while it has its media disconnected.

I'm sorry for my english. I'm not a native speaker. Hope someone can help me, I'm a bit desperate.

Sorry, really busy with work... I bought and new network card for a few bucks and its working. So, my problem is solved. I suspect that my old network card was only partly damaged and thats why it kept working for a while. Anyway. Herc08, thanks a lot for your help and patience. I hope you can fix your problem Ivan. Greets lads!
