The Orphan Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm normally a really tech savey guy and can find my way around any issue. About 3 weeks ago my PC stopped connecting to the internet. I haven't really tried to fix it until today when I spent at least 5 hours trying to fix this issue. I have reinstalled my network and ethernet driver both 2 times now and still nothing. My router is fine because I am still connected to wifi on my laptop and my brothers PC(ethernet). I also know that its not the cat5 in my room since my brothers PC still works and I have tried a 150ft cat5 cable right to my router and still nothing. PLEASE HELP Link to comment
Atmosphere Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Have you tried, unplugging and plugging in the internet cable? Nex likes this Link to comment

Aabrams Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 While I've never had a Network card fail myself, I do believe this would be cheap and easy test of the problem. Try you brothers in your computer if he will let you. Best of luck. Link to comment
