I just finished building my first pc and installing windows. When I went to plug in my Ethernet cabel it didn’t connect or even show up on my pc. I’ve checked the cabel and it works on other computers. I’m using a cat5e cable. Would using a cat6 fix the problem or is it a problem with my motherboard?
