IP configuration for Ethernet not set up properly
IP configuration for Ethernet not set up properly
You're on Windows 10, and after moving your hardware into the 570X, you're having trouble connecting to the internet. The green light is on, but the orange light is blinking. Windows thinks an Ethernet cable is connected, but it won't work. You've tried another cable, and WLAN and LAN are functional on other PCs. The system automatically picks a public network, yet you can't access the internet. You suspect the built-in network adapter might be disabled. If all else fails, consider purchasing a budget network card for a quick fix.
Insert your Ethernet card, open the CMD prompt, and execute: ipconfig /all. Post your findings.

You can check your router settings via 169.254.248.0 or 169.254.248.1 on any device. Confirm the subnet mask is correctly configured as 255.255.0.0 (not 255.255.255.0). Ensure your NIC properties are set to auto-configure for proper IP assignment.
I can't reach the router configuration. Usually I connect via 192.168.0.1. This device uses a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and IPv4 address 192.168.0.100. Are these the correct settings? If so, yes—they’re configured to auto. You might want to manually adjust the subnetmask to 255.255.255.0 and set the IP to something like 192.168.0.3. The default gateway on the working PC is fe80::925c:44ff:feaf:5431%6 and the router’s IP is 192.168.0.1.
Configure the IP address to 192.168.0.50 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Test connectivity. Adjust DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to resolve any problems. Please let me know if it works. :-)
They tested the DNS settings and found an issue with the gateway. You should configure the default gateway to point to your router or internet connection.
Consider leaving your DNS settings auto and test again. Once configured, disable and re-enable the NIC, then apply the changes for 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to use their DNS servers. The DNS system is responsible for converting domain names into IP addresses.
Windows restricts DNS auto-setting during manual IP configuration. Check your previous edit for guidance. To disable and re-enable, right-click Ethernet → Disable. Disabling the entire controller is also an option if needed.
