Son son has a MB with and integrated ethernet port. A couple of nights
ago, we had a really bad thunderstorm. Now it does not connect to the
internet. It keeps saying (in Windows) that no cable is connected.
Is there a way to test the port ? (BIOS says its enabled, we tried to
reload the driver and still nothing)
Did you tested that computer on cable (connection) that works for another
computer, or checked that cable with another computer that works? In other
words, did you make sure that MB is at fault and not cable or router.
When thunderstorm strikes electronics is first to die, but high voltage hits
usually come from outside. That means modem, or router modem are first
exposed. Long Ethernet line in house is next possible place that can catch
high voltage discharge and then all components are exposed, computer and
router, or modem.
On router, or router-modem combo, side can be damaged single port, so fact
that other computers have connection doesn't prove that router is completely
functional.
