Problem with Ethernet on Z790I board
Hi everyone, I just wrapped up my build and everything went perfectly except for this Ethernet problem. The motherboard is getting packets but appears as an "Unidentified network" with no internet access. Interestingly, Wi-Fi works fine. My setup: Intel 14900k CPU, MSI MPG Z790I Edge. I've tried several fixes—updated BIOS, installed the Intel driver, uninstalled and reinstalled the adapter, adjusted speed to 1 Gb Full Duplex, and confirmed LAN was enabled in BIOS.
It's now configured automatically. Not sure if it's useful, but I also checked the Event Viewer and saw this error connected to the I226-V Ethernet adapter multiple times after turning everything on.
You can attempt to configure it as a private network, but it won't use an IP range—it will operate within the local network settings.
