Ethernet connection/port on my laptop

Hi,

Incompatible network adapter driver can be a possible cause why you are experiencing an issue with connecting your Windows laptop to the Internet using an Ethernet connection. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following
questions:

Which build and edition of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?

What is the make and model of your laptop?

Are you experiencing the same issue even when you are using another Ethernet cable?

Have you made any changes to your computer setting before this issue occurred?

In the meantime, we suggest connecting your laptop to the Internet using a wireless connection while isolating this issue. For initial troubleshooting, it will be best to install the latest update for your device. Make sure that the
KB4073291 update OS Build 16299.201 is installed on your computer.

If the same issue persists after installing the updates, run the automated troubleshooter for network adapters. Visit this
link, click on Find and fix problems with wireless and other network adapters and then follow the prompts
to successfully run the tool. Restart your device and then check if you'll have the same issue.

We are looking forward to your response.

(also same ethernet cable & connection works on my mac notebook)

Can't say with certainty about changes, if any, made. Normally i don't fiddle with the laptop systems.

ethernet port was working just fine and suddenly became dsysfunctional about two weeks back.

Checked Network adapters in the device manager which highlights Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller with a yellow mark. Also checked network adapter driver which states that installed driver is the latest.
