MalwareBytes?

I did that, it did say successfully reset. Still no Internet after restarting.
on the desktop
open cmd
Type in
netsh winsock reset
press enter
it should show
Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog.
You must restart the computer in order to complete the reset.
 
When you plug the cable into the desktop do you have a light on the desktop side and the router side?
I get a green light on the router end that correlates to the Ethernet port I plugged it into on there. On the computer end, I have a solid, larger orange light and a flickering green light
 
Do you know how to disable the firewall on the desktop
or do you need instructions
Are you using windows defender or do you have nortons or Mcaffee etc installed
 
Just this, correct?

Can you turn them off?
If not
Control panel
Windows defender firewall
Left hand side turn off
Then try ping again from laptop
ping 192.168.10.73

Okay, I turned off all three options available.
And I went back and set the manual again to .175, so I should ping that instead, right?
 
This is odd
On the desktop
go back to the network settings and make sure it is still 175
If it is
In the bottom section
make the first dns server
192.168.10.1
the alternate 8.8.8.8
save and ping again
