Solved Wired connection not working

[alumahai]

There was a thunderstorm yesterday, and my power shut off for a moment. I heard a loud pop from my computer as it shut off, and am fearful that something went wrong.

Today, I noticed that my network access was really slow, and it seems that my computer is using wireless, and not the wired connection i normally use. It is showing up as "unidentified netowrk" with "No network access" checking the properties on it, I have 0 packets sent. I have a static ip address, and so i disabled this to see if it is something with that. Now i get a default 169.254.x.x, and have no gateway.

I have:
run the windows troubleshooter
reset the router
reset the computer
replaced the network cable
changed ports on the router
ipconfig release / renew
netsh winsock reset
forced a valid static ip again

Note that the wireless is still working fine for all devices, but i cant get the wired connection working at all. Please help

IP config, since I know you will ask

hi do you have the yellow and green lights flashing next to the Ethernet port?

 

[alumahai]

Yellow light is flashing from my pc. green from my router.
This seems weird to me. doesnt the yellow light indicate 10mb/sec?

Got me to check the properties on the ethernet controller. It indicates that the linkspeed is indeed 10mb/sec, while gigabyte tells me its a gigabit connection (GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1150 - GA-Z97X-SLI (rev. 1.0))

The onboard network port is out. I bought a new card, and it is working fine.
Its a real shame, as the board is already defective after only 4 months...

the load pop was something on the motherboard as you have found out that is why asked if the yellow and green lights blinking by the port. glad you are atleast able to get online with the computer now.
