Urgent help would be greatly appreciated.
Plug ethernet cable into computer error.
Also unplug the ethernet cable.
As long as you don t need all of your ports you can get by.
I ran diagnostics and it said to plug in the ethernet cable to the network adaptor.
Ethernet cables plug into ethernet ports which are larger than phone cable ports.
But once i plug it into my laptop there is nothing.
Wait for good 15 minutes.
Wifi works fine with phones ipods ipads and another laptop that was also updated to windows 10 a desktop still using windows 8.
If this procedure doesn t help try testing for a faulty cable.
Plug in ethernet causes computer crash you are welcome i am happy to hear that my solution helped to fix your problem.
An ethernet port on a computer is accessible through the ethernet card on the motherboard.
This port is usually on the back of a desktop computer or on the side of a laptop.
If that fixes the problem you ve got a defective router.
I have plugged the router up to a different computer and my xbox and it works that way.
Instead of buying a new one outright plug the same cable into a different computer or temporarily swap out the ethernet cable for a known good one.
Usually there is a light that comes on when i plug my ethernet cable into my laptop but it won t trigger the light either.
Now locate your ethernet connection and right click on it.
The wifi will pick up just fine i would just rather have an ethernet connection.
I looked in network and it says that the ethernet cable is unplugged and does not show any available networks.
It is a pretty ridiculous problem so i am glad i could save someone the time of troubleshooting their computer over something so simple.
Connect the cable and battery to your computer and turn it on.
If you are using a laptop remove its battery too.
So my wifi connection will not work with my laptop unless directly connected to by the ethernet cable.
On troubleshooting it s says that an ethernet cable is broken or not plugged in properly and is unable to fix the problem as obviously i am not connected via any cable.
