ETHERNET TROUBLE
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2022 5:27 am
Yesterday, my PC stopped its Ethernet reception. The modem was sending wifi to the laptop, but the Ethernet was intermittent, at best. I thought it was the modem, so, I swapped in a new one, fresh from COMCAST. It worked, but only briefly. swapped the cat 6 for a cat 5e, worked, but only briefly. Performed a system restore, same result. Finally, I undid the restore, & it has been working fine, since then. Even streaming HD video.
I had been suspecting the onboard Ethernet port might be the problem. So far, as far as I know, the cable has not been jiggled, since I undid the restore.
I am expecting it will fail tomorrow. Any suggestions?
