Text “Ethernet cable isn’t plugged in.” Error message
I was mid game today when i received this error. So far the troubleshooting i’ve done is
Unplug/plug back in
Use a new ethernet cable
Check the ethernet port/cable with an xbox (it connected to the internet)
Restarted the ethernet network adapter
Restarted network/modem
Restarted PC
Shut down PC, unplugged, held power button for 30 seconds
Performed network reset
And nothing has fixed it. This leads me to believe my motherboard ethernet port just randomly fried?
On hardware and connection properties it says the following
Name: ethernet
Description: killer e3100g 2.5 gigabit ethernet controller
Status: non operational
Maximum transmission unit: 1500
Ipv4,v6, and dns servers all have an address
Connectivity: disconnected.
Is there anything more to do that can rule out whether or not its my motherboard is fucked?
