Hi everyone, I hope this is put into the correct category.

So the story is, I turn on my computer one day...and I can't connect via the Ethernet cable. The weird part is, my WiFi works perfectly fine, I just can't connect using the cable. Now, everyone knows how slow and buggy WiFi is, so I'm desperately trying to get my cable to work again. I know it isn't my cable's issue because I plugged it into another laptop and it connected perfectly fine. Additionally, I believe my computer recognizes the cable somehow because whenever I plug it in, there will be lights blinking (which it still does). However, it shouldn't be my card's problem...because wouldn't my WiFi also fail too if it was?

Thanks in advance,
Syncourt

Start a dos box (press the start button and enter cmd in the search box and press enter). Enter "ipconfig /all" as the command and post the output here.
