Hi, I've recently have gotten a Ethernet cord for my pc for low ping in games, but it doesn't work on it, the port and everything is clean and both my laptops work with the ethernet but not my desktop. Is there anything i can do to fix this???
 
right click the Start button and select Device Manager.
expand Network Adapters, you should see your ethernet port listed, probably called Realtek PCIe or such.
double click it and in Device Status it should say it is working properly.
 
When you say that it is not working what specifically do you mean?

What are the speeds that you are suppose to be getting?

What are the speed test showing that you ate getting?
Here are a few that you can try.

Have you tried resetting the network?
turn them off then on?
Modem
Router
computer

Have you tried resetting the network settings on the computer and what about other devices?

Once the modem and router comes back on completely

Access the modem and router and see if ither one of them are blocking the
IP Address
MAC Address

Make sure that the security protocols are not blocking that system at all?

EDITED

Lets also get a speccy repoert may reveal more as to what maybe going on

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.


Include the make and model of the Power Supply Unit if this is a Desktop.

I know it sounds silly and no one could possibly forget.......but I have seen it happen that Ops have not installed the internet driver off the MB disk. Drivers never loaded with windows so had to use disk. Also could go to support from MB Manufacturer
