Booted up my desktop today to be confronted with a no connection red x and that the network cable was unplugged. The troubleshooter told me to plug in my Ethernet cord which was already there. I’ve tried everything and the settings, cable and router are all fine. Wifi works for everything else and so does my cable on other devices. I’ve tried new Realtek drivers, system restore and nothing has worked. No lights ever appear on the port either.

I’m thinking it may have gone out. Does anybody know about making sure these things are dead?

Card is Realtek pci-e fe family controller.
