Experiencing strange internet issues or a malfunctioning motherboard?
Hi, I see you've been having issues with your PC setup. After sitting for a while without a graphics card, you recently purchased one but still can't connect your internet via the wired method. You've checked the cable on your laptop and it works, so the problem might be with the network hardware. The integrated network card on your motherboard could be faulty, though you've noticed some lights indicating network activity. When you connect both devices, it seems to detect a network but doesn't establish a connection. It's frustrating, and I'm here to help you troubleshoot further.
Do you have a dynamic or static IP configuration on your router? Using a standard Ethernet cable isn't suitable for connecting two PCs directly. You'll need an inverted cable setup. It might be a faulty connection or outdated technology. The best option is to install a network interface card, four PCIe x4 cards, and connect them accordingly.
could it die just from sitting? and sometimes i can see blinking red and orange lights on motherboard ethernet port well nontheless i just ordered nic card i hope it will work then
I checked if you mentioned a specific network configuration, but no response was received.
