MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Lan Port not working properly

[Skull_Zockt]

Hey guys,

 

the LAN Port of my Computer was working fine today, until I unplugged the LAN cable.

I needed it somewhere else.

After I plugged it back into my Computer it says, that there is no ethernet cable connected. There is also no indicator LED on the lan port shining.

When I bought my Computer I had the same problem at the start, where it wouldn't work, but it suddenly started working don't know why. Haven't changed anything.

This happened again after 1 year where I unplugged it, got it working by plugging and unpluggins a few times.

 

Sadly it isn't working now, tried to fix it for over an hour now. Drivers shouldnÄt be aproblem because I just unplugged the cable for an hour and it worked fine before.

Is it possible that my LAN Port is broken?

Have you tried a new or different cable?

Yes I did, doesn't work either. Treid 3 different cables. No lights shining and also no connection

If I was you, I would try to re-install the drivers. I know you didn't change anything, but the problem was already there in the past. Might worth a shot re-installing them, maybe an updated version too before going with other solutions. Let me know your motherboard model so we can check if there is anything available.

 

Best.

I reinstalled the latest drivers, but sadly it still isn't working

I'm leaning towards a bad port, since you've tried other cables and that cable that you were using works on another device.

If you jiggle the cable a little bit do you get lights for a second?

Where is your computer connected to? a powered switch or a router? Is your pc connected through wireless as well?

Don't even get lights for a second, but I am also thinking of a bad Port because the last few times I got it working by playing around. Still hoope I can get it running again

I don't have a wireless card.

The pc is connected via devolo dlan plugs.

I did a Google quick search. It seems people are having the same problem as you're describing. Only option is to get a NIC.

And I suppose these plugs works perfectly with other computers, right?

I have 5 plugs and I get internet everywhere in the house. I also checked it with my laptop and I can get a working connection with the same cable that is used for the computer

Didn't get it to work, so I ordered a nic.

Thanks for trying to help
