My motherboard, which is now roughly 3 years old, has two integrated LAN ports on the back. Around a year, year and a half ago, one of them stopped working (completely random from what I can remember). The other worked fine and I put it down to a drive issue and never really paid much attention to it as I was only using one anyway.
Fast forward to today, after a doing some upgrading and changing out case and installing W10, the issue is still present. The old OS was windows 7.
I'm leaning towards the port just being broke, but I figured I'd seek some information incase someone else had something like this.
So - the lights on the port work when cable is attached. The OS picks up a cable is attached and tries to identify network, but is never able to get an IP, and thus it says "Unknown Network, no Internet".
The port just below this one works completely fine.
Since this issue spans different drivers, different OS's, changing cases, etc. I'm leaning toward it being FUBAR'd from a hardware perspective, but I'm unsure what would even cause that. If it was a power issue I'd expect the port to have no power at all, but it does.
