Hi!

So I've been gone from home for a month, the pc and router were working perfectly when i left, i plugged them out of socket so lightning wouldnt zap them, but when i returned today my pc wouldnt connect to the the network via an ethernet cable, but wifi works fine. it was the same with my sisters pc but hers started working after a router reset. I have this pc plugged into my own router which is plugged in the main router from the isp. I've tried connecting my pc directly to the main router but still. no ethernet cable connected. Tried a variaty of fixes on the interwebz but none seem to work. I'm on latest windows 10 if it makes any difference. thanks in advance!

Is the light on the nic on?  What about ip settings is the up address correct or set to dhcp?
