Question Troubles with Ethernet connection!

[Gerkor]

Hi everyone!

Have weird problem with my PC, well I have never encountered it previously. I have brought PC from work connected to internet via ethernet cable. Immediately noticed that connection is not stable some websites a loading normal, such as google, others do not load at all. This is strange since my other PC and PS4 works well with this cable.

So I tried to diagnose the problem, windows tells me its "your computer appears to be correctly configured but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding"

By this moment I have tried almost everything:

• Tried to set fixed DNS (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4);
• reset my dns through cmp;
• reinstalled network drivers;
• reinstalled windows.

No luck, you are my last hope, what can be wrong with this machine?

Thanks in advance!

If you have done a windows install, then there isn't much to try except a Linux bootable USB. See if that can get internet.
Change the cable. You could have a cable problem.
Or there might be a hardware problem with the built-in network adapter. You could add an inexpensive PCIe NIC card.

Oh No, not ANOTHER can't connect problem.

Easy fixes first, don't automatically assume is cancer. Replicate same everything as PS4, same port, same cable blah-blah.

Old machine, old NIC may not be supported by W10.

At the end, buy a new W10 certified NIC, not expensive.
