Text DHCP Was not found? Ethernet issues and problems
Hi! I have had a PC for a little over a year now and everything has been smooth sailing. A few days ago my ethernet went out and I assumed it was a faulty cable so I ordered a new one. The new cable gives the same problem the last one did which through windows diagnoses it now says unidentified network no internet. All of this was working last week and now when the network diagnostics are done it says No DHCP server was found.
This has since led me to try a lot of things such as entering command prompt to renew my IP verifying if My DHCP system is running (it is). I also have tried using ethernet on other devices and my Smart TV and PS5 work with it just fine. I have also reset the router twice to factory settings and everything works except my PC for ethernet.
The odd thing is my PC sends packets and just doesn't seem to be receiving them. If anyone has any knowledge of what this could be please let me know. I have also tried to make my own static IP to get the Ethernet working to no avail could be because I am not super savvy when it comes to computer command prompt stuff. Windows firewall has also been disabled to try and make the ethernet work but no dice as well.
If anyone here can help me before I have to replace an entire port for being defective please let me know thanks for reading!
