The results from ipconfig and a ping. Pinging has gone back to how it was before.

I am still thinking cable
Did you reboot computer when you tried black cable?
I will call for some others to have an input.

Hi Guys any ideas.
Op has no internet on desktop.
Op had already reset TCP/IP stack.
We have flushed dns
We have reset winsock
We have disabled firewall - has standard anti virus and malwarebytes
Have tested cable in laptop and works.
Have forced ip address.
Comp picks up ip address from router when using DHCP.
Ping to router fails.
Ping to laptop fails.
have checked drivers
Have uninstalled network card in device manager

Have not reset Host files
Cheers

Swapped cables, rebooting computer now. Nothing, ipconfig and ping both come back identical to the white cable afaict.

I am sorry I have not been able to solve this with you.
I have asked some others to have a look and have given a brief description
of what was tried.
I was thinking cat 7 may be the issue as I have seen older computers
Struggle when using higher rated cables.

I appreciate all your time and help!
And if it had been a problem, I figure it would have been a problem the last few years it’s been in use xD Right now I’m leaning towards some kind of… ****** up hardware issue?

Sorry I missed that this had be working with that cable for a while.
Anyway we have a least proved both cables are good.

Yep! And yes, I truly do not understand what has gone wrong (apart from maybe hardware failure) because it literally has been fine as is for a couple years and hasn’t been fiddled with. I changed nothing from one day to the next!
