It takes like 3-5 minutes for my Ethernet to actually register. Have you waited that long?
yea its been 2 days
and when its plugged in i dont have any lights pop up on the back like it use to
no it doesn't
for me it has never taken longer than 10 seconds for windows to recognize it's plugged in
DHCP can take a bit longer but I've never needed longer than about 30 sec
what's plugged in on the other end? like if you trace the cable coming from your computer, does it go into a wall outlet or anything?
itโs coming from my wall and itโs ran though the attic plugged into my router
but iโm hopping itโs just a problem with my ethernet cord because iโm moving to a new house that has ethernet and if itโs dosnt work im just going to have to get a new motherboard or somthing
or iโll jst throw my pc down the stairs if it doesnโt work
unless you have water damage or something there's really no reason to suspect the mobo is at fault
did you do the wall wiring? because this feels like the wire can't connect to the router
try connecting directly to the router
i.e. bring your computer over, or use a laptop or ethernet adapter
and if you can, try a known good ethernet cord, or get a cable tester if you really wanna spend the $30
basically it's way more likely that the wiring between your wall outlet and the router is faulty, not your motherboard
