i have tried to use 3 cables but because of length reason i have a female to female adapter between 2 cables i believe this is the failure point since when i try the laptop inline before the adapter it works but it does not after my desktop also dosnt work after the adapter but i cannot test the desktop cause of the length issue also changing the duplex did help somewhat changed from an unplugged cable error(red x) to the mentioned ethernet dosnt have a valid ip (yellow triangle)

yes i have now literally drilled a hole through the wall to make the cable i have reach and tossed the joiners. as soon as i plugged the cable in without a joiner it worked like a charm just weird since it worked for about a year then suddenly the joiner dies.
