Ethernet Issues Connecting To Internet

I

I'd still suggest that you run the checking tool from the sky web page
Sorry, I missed that earlier.

I tried that last night and it said everything was fine. I'm clearly not an expert (I'm an idiot) but I think it's a computer issue rather than a network issue due to all other connected devices being fine.

Lasted a lot longer - maybe 5 hours - but that's it just dropped the ethernet connection and defaulted to WiFi again so not fixed unfortunately.
And when the Ethernet drops (and WiFi disabled) what do you see with ping test you did earlier?

It looked similar to the one I did earlier but with higher minimum, maximum and average. I didn't copy the info unfortunately.

I've changed the DNS settings as you suggested so waiting to see what effect that has, if any.

Like I said, if you’re only connected by Ethernet and it’s saying no internet, yet you’re able to ping an external server by ip, it would point to a dns issue to me. Switching to Google’s dns might resolve the issue

I've changed the DNS settings and also bought a new ethernet cable from Amazon which is coming tonight.

Trying everything here 😂

I'm really sorry guys but still the same issues.

I've got a new ethernet cable, tried changing the DNS settings but getting a short period of internet using the ethernet connection then it dropped and goes onto the Wifi connection. Which itself it's great and cuts in and out. Again, all other devices on the network are fine.

This desktop was working fine until Monday then all these issues.

Any other suggestions?

Can you post a screenshot of device manager

Also just for elimination purposes can you connect your partners laptop to the ethernet

I just tried plugging her laptop in and it works fine using the ethernet cable. So weird!
That would suggest that it's definitely something with your pc, so I'd suggest giving PCS a call, explain everything that's been tried, even point them to this thread, and arrange an RMA

I dropped them an email earlier and they got me to try a few things but no joy.

Hopefully I can get someone to remote in first and have a look rather than return it.

Thanks for your help!

Bit late to this and don't know if this has been suggested but can you go to Command Prompt (type CMD in the search bar) and type
ipconfig /all hit enter and copy/paste, sounds like a default gateway/IP issue to me

Hmmm, all looks OK, have you got anything else on the network that you have manually set an IP in?

I don't think so. There's my desktop, 2 laptops, my phone, Sky Q Box and an Amazon Echo. That's it.

They were all there at the weekend when it was working fine.
