Why can't I ping Google.com but not 8.8.8.8 on Ethernet?
Asked by

I'm having a strange issue with my Ethernet connection on Windows 11. I can see a data usage number in the settings, and I've tried two different cables, both with lights flashing on the motherboard. I recently updated my drivers, and I even ordered a PCI Ethernet card to hopefully fix the problem. However, I'm wondering if there might be something else going on. Could anyone help or ask any essential questions to clarify? Thanks!

Just to clarify, if you're able to ping google.com but not 8.8.8.8, it could be that the problem lies within your internet service provider or configuration settings. Have you checked to see if you have a proper connection despite what your computer says? Sometimes the connection might show as active, but there could still be underlying issues.
