So, my cat accidentally turned off the power by hitting the outlet switch, which shut down my computer. This happened a few times already, but this time I'm having trouble getting back online. The Ethernet connection shows it's connected, but I can't access any websites. I've already tried restarting both my computer and the router, plus unplugging and re-plugging the Ethernet cable. What other steps can I take to fix this?

You might want to consider getting a power outlet switch cover to prevent your cat from turning it off again. Just a small safeguard to save you from future headaches!
Try disabling your Ethernet connection in the network settings and then re-enable it. That usually helps reset the connection and could resolve the issue.
Sounds like it could be a router issue. Have you checked if all the lights are on and everything is going through its usual startup process? Sometimes, it can take a bit for the connection to stabilize after a power loss.
If all else fails, holding down the computer's power button for about 30 seconds could help reset things. Or, you could remove the CMOS battery if you're comfortable doing that.
