Hardwired connection issues...

If you post results of the test we will know the situation in stead of shooting in the dark

Sorry, could you give directions on how to do that please?

Sorry I think the answer to that question was already mentioned in the first post, my bad.

So lets try troubleshooting this one by one.

Firstly let rule out the obvious even if it looks stupid. Make sure you have a working cable. Then make sure the cables are connected at both end FIRMLY. sometime a loose connection could be the root cause. if the Ethernet is a PCIE adapter that slots in to the computer motherboard, then check to see if its FIRMLY fitted to the slot. If this resolves the issue, good .... else follow the next step

Secondly lets rule out driver issue. Go to device manager and right click on each adapter and uninstall it even the ones with exclamation. Make sure while you do this you only uninstall and NOT DELETE the drivers. reboot and check to see of this resolves the issue. Post a screenshot of the Network adapters after the reboot.

let me know so we can advice you the next course of action

Here is the file, too long to paste.

There is a second file additions from the scan please post that. Does the network work in safe mode?

I will try the safemode later today and repot back.

You have problems you have loads of security software running half of it is crashing you need to remove the firewall,avast,two VPNs, McAfee etc. You need to clear thousands of firewall rules as trusted and blocked are the same you should got to av makers websites and get their remotely tool to remove stuff uninstall leaves behind

Safemode with networking allows WIFI but not hardwired connections to work.

Are you saying that the only way to fix this connection problem with my hardwired is to download their uninstaller or can I manually remove these firewall rules? If manual is possible, is it possible to remove more than one at a time or is it individual removal only?

The quickest is to just reset firewall as there are 14000 http://www.thewindowsclub.com/reset-...ewall-settings

I reset the settings to no avail, is there anything else I can do? When I restarted, I was forced to restore from a previously saved restore point as my WIFI had limited connection and I couldn't connect to the internet. I have had to do this every day for about a week just to connect to the internet at all.
