Hi y’all.

I’ve recently purchased a new PC and was trying to set it up… Fresh new windows installation, so far so good, but when I plugged in the network cable in, it wasn’t able to connect to the network. The setups I’ve tried are as follows:

• Network cable directly from the wall socket into the PC, internet works.
• Network cable from the wall into unmanaged switch (Netgear GS105), from that switch to the PC, doesn’t work. All other devices connected to the switch work fine.
• Network cable from the wall into an “ethernet splitter” (1-in-2-out… I don’t quite know the name of the thing), one from the splitter into the switch, the other into the PC, doesn’t work, but the other devices connected to the switch work.

I’ve also tried a bunch of different cables, but nothing seems to work, other than connecting the PC directly with the cable to the socket in the wall. Since I only have 1 socket, I need to have a switch in between for everything else… I’ve looked on the interwebs but none of the problems seem to be mine.

My mainboard in the PC is the ASUS B760M-PLUS.

Any help would be appreciated.
