Hello, I have a desktop that is currently connected to the Internet through a wired connection. I have an ethernet cable running from the modem (which is a modem/router hybrid from CenturyLink) and I can't seem to establish a connection. When I open a browser like Google Chrome, none of the websites will load. However, when I access the Network and Sharing Center, it shows that packets are being sent and received. I can't seem to ping any website either, as it says the host cannot be found (for www.google.com).
Now, I know that my Internet does indeed work as I am typing this on my laptop which is connected wirelessly. Any device that is connected through the wireless connection can access the Internet perfectly fine. I also have another desktop connected with an ethernet cable and that can access the Internet as well. I have tried resetting everything, but that does not seem to help fix my wired connection. The cable is old (about 5 years), but there is no noticeable damage. I don't know what I should do in order to bring back my wired connection.
