I have a bit of an odd issue. I got home from a trip and now I can't get my desktop to connect to the internet. I've tried the following thus far:
-confirmed internet works on my laptop.
-tried restarting modem, router, & desktop
-tried connecting desktop via Ethernet cable. (verified Ethernet cable works with laptop) Gives error: unidentified network: no internet access.
-tried to see if the internet would work in Windows 7 (I have the desktop set up to duel boot between two SSDs. The primary is running Windows 10 and the secondary is running Windows 7)
-tried disconnecting wireless card to ensure it wasn't shorting something. Ethernet still won't work with this disconnected.
-tried manually assigning IP address and DNS server.
I tried searching around, but I haven't had any luck finding a working solution. The wireless Ethernet card is in the first PCI slot and the Ethernet connection is in the motherboard itself. Being that neither of these work and the OS/ system image doesn't make a difference, does this mean that something happened to my motherboard?
Thanks in advance for any help!
