ethernet cable not recognized, asking for isp login info
I know this question has already been asked as i've been researching this for the past 2 days, but none of the threads i've found have solved my issue.
1. my internet is working on all other computers, the router and modem both work properly and are both configured to work with other computers and the etherne cable is in working condition.
2. all drivers have been installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated, etc.
3. there is no yellow box indicating any errors in the device manager.
4. my internet is set to open, not pw protected, and this is a wired ethernet connection i'm working with.
5. there are no bent pins on the port or the cable
6. all other areas of mobo are working properly.
7. i don't have one of those pci ethernet cards so i can't test it that way.
i'm starting to think its a hardware issue, but the device manager recognizes that its there and the driver is installed, it just doesnt recognize the cord is plugged in. I very vaguely remember having this or a similar problem years ago with another computer but don't remember how i fixed it.
any help/suggestions/ideas/tips will be much appreciated!
thanks!
