First of all, make certain that your Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the socket.
They need to be inserted fully.
You should see a blinking yellow or green led flashing to indicate activity.

Look in device manager properties for the adapter to see if it is working.
Possibly the driver is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.

Test that your router is ok if you can. Connect another Ethernet device if you can.

In the event that you decide that your motherboard adapter is bad, then you can buy an add in pcie card like this:
