Hi all
I feel this is a hardware issue but I may be wrong.
My old aurora r3 alienware desktop lost its connection to the internet last night. Running windows network diagnostics (windows 10) gives a message that it cannot figure out what is wrong. The device is listed as working correctly in the device manager.
I have:
The orange light is on where the ethernet plugs in.
Some background information:
Connection: wired currently directly into verizon router (g1100)
desktop: Aurora r3 running windows 10 (cannot update due to chipset limit)
realtek family gb pcie
if this thread belongs in hardware please let me know.
Any help is appreciated. I can certainly provide more information if needed. My gut is telling me the nic card is dead. After all, this is an 8 year old pc
thank you for reading.

I have:
- uninstalled, reinstalled the device
- scanned for malware
- changed the ethernet cable
- plugged the pc directly into the verizon router
- rebooted the machine
- All other devices on the network including those plugged into the switch this was originally plugged into are working fine.
