Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a bind with my PC not connecting to the internet. My setup involves using an ethernet cable to connect to my WiFi, and interestingly, every other device in my house is able to access the internet without any issues. I've been troubleshooting like crazy and it's getting frustrating! Here's what I've done so far: I've hard reset both my router and PC, reset my network settings, updated my ethernet and WiFi drivers, checked the ethernet connection itself, and even ran the troubleshooter which claims I'm connected. I also flushed the DNS cache via command prompt, disabled and re-enabled my drivers, turned my firewall on and off, and attempted to connect to Google's DNS servers, but nothing has worked. I'm at a loss for what to try next. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Just to clarify, are you using a cable connection for Ethernet? Sometimes Ethernet and WiFi can get mixed up, so it’s important to check that. If you're sure you're using Ethernet, have you tried a different port on your router or using another cable? Sometimes the problem can be as simple as a faulty cable or port. It might be worth checking those out!
Yeah, I'm definitely using the cable. I'll look into trying a different cable or port. Thanks for the suggestion!
