Ethernet Connection

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



We would like to ask additional information that will help us in resolving the issue.

• What kind of computer are you using? Is it a desktop or a laptop?
• Did you make any recent changes to your computer?
• Have you tried troubleshooting the issue by yourself? If yes, what were the steps you have taken so far?

I would suggest you to try the following and check:

• Verify that the cable connects the modem to the wall jack is connected securely.
• Verify that the cable connects the computer to the modem is attached securely at both ends.
• Restart the router/modem.

Follow the steps and let us know if it helps.

 

Unable to connect to Cable Modem


I have an issue with my Windows 10 PC not connecting to my cable modem by ethernet cable. I connect the PC to the modem and all I get is "unidentified network - no internet", yet my laptop connects to the modem by ethernet (I'm using it now) just fine. I've tried everything I can think of to get my PC to connect to the modem, but nothing has fixed the problem so far. I can connect my phone to the modem fine by wifi as well, so the modem isn't the issue - or is it? Yesterday I had no issues with connecting to the modem and internet until I had a "blue screen event" and when the computer rebooted, I had the yellow triangle ! ever since.

Please HELP!!

 

Windows detects no ethernet cable is plugged when connected directly to modem

I had a network setup which consisted of a modem and a
Wifi router, where the router is connected to the modem, and all other device is connected to the router.

Recently my ISP offered to change the old modem to a newer modem+Wifi router combo, which had better performance than my old standalone router.
When migrating, every device connects to the modem properly, except for my PC, which detects no ethernet cable is plugged when it was connected directly to the modem. Sometime it got network access, but that only last about 10 seconds before windows said the cable is "unplugged" again.
On the modem side, the ethernet port was blinking green every one seconds. Sometimes it goes orange, but most of the time. It just stay blinking green.

I tried conneting the pc through the router then the modem and the PC connects to it fine. But that setup takes a lot of my space, not to mention the router is ancient.
I also tried reinstalling the driver using my MoBo included driver disk, but to no avail

Thanks in advance!
