PC only recognizes certain LAN signals?

I recently laid a CAT7 cable through the whole house and put a LAN socket at the beginning and at the end. This socket is on one "side" with the FRITZ! Box connected and on the other "side" with the PC. However, the PC does not recognize an internet signal via this. The LAN cable is connected to the mainboard Msi B350m. However, if I connect the same cable to my laptop, I have internet. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? The cable has already been exchanged. It is not because of that.

Si

Maybe in the settings?

br

Take your pc and drag it to the router and take a short lan cable and plug it in directly (for control).

Ho

It can of course be due to the network card in the computer.

I would definitely do a driver update for the same.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be? The cable has already been exchanged. It is not because of that.

I'll try to think logically:

Your computer does not get network access. With exactly the same constellation, the laptop has no problem. Prize question: Could it be the cable? Tip: It works on a laptop.

Next question: What is different if you connect the computer instead of the laptop? Right, the end device and its network interface. So I would probably look for the problem there. Either the hardware has a problem or the driver.

Sa

Thanks for the answer. The drivers are up-to-date. I don't know what to do next. Do you still have an idea what else could be the cause? If I run the cable from the socket into a switch and from there into the PC I have internet, but only with 1/10 of the actual power.

Sa

Thanks for the answer. What settings do you mean exactly?

Sa

Thanks for the answer. Connected to the Fritzbox, the PC works without any problems. Internet goes at full power.

Ho

If it works directly on the FritzBox there will probably be a problem in between, i.e. Switch or network sockets. Checking the port config from the switch and otherwise measuring the cans would occur to me. Remote diagnosis is always difficult.

br

Then I would suspect a mistake in the wiring of your two RJ45 sockets. You should check this again.

However, if I connect the same cable to my laptop, I have internet

Are you sure that your notebook uses the LAN and not the WLAN?

Si

That indicates the settings

Si

That indicates the settings.
If the settings are Automatic ipv6, try manually ipv4.

If the PC has an IP address that has already been assigned, then there will also be conflicts. It is best to ask a network expert to look at the problem.

Apart from the fact that "performance" is the completely wrong term: Have you configured something on the network card? Something with duplex e.g. B? Duplex and data rate (10/100/1000) should be set to "auto".

Sa

Please excuse my incorrect wording. I'm relatively new to the field.

I have not configured anything on the network card.

Sa

I checked the cans using a LAN tester. As far as I know, this indicates that it is wired correctly.

The notebook is connected via LAN. I checked it again.
So I assume that it has to be related to the LAN connection on my PC.

Ke

Remote diagnosis is difficult, so my next tip would be a defective network card.

Sa

The doses have been measured and should work without any problems. It must be a problem with the pc.

Sa

I understand. However, if I connect the PC directly to the Fritzbox via LAN, it works fine.

Ke

New knowledge for me. You could have said yes sooner. Then there's a fault in the cabling to which the network card of the PC reacts differently than the laptop.

br

That it has to be related to the LAN connection on my PC

But that can't be because your PC is fully functional when it is directly connected to the router.

Sa

Does that mean I have to take b instead of a?

Ke

You can also take c. Or x. Or v. You speak in riddles. If you mean EIA / TIA 568, write that too. And no, it's not that.

Sa

I meant TIA. I'm sorry for my bad language, unfortunately I'm not an expert in this field, otherwise I would probably not ask here. But you are also welcome to describe what you mean in more detail. As I said, I'm not an expert.

Ke

I meant TIA. I'm sorry for my bad language, unfortunately I'm not an expert in the field,

… Which shouldn't prevent you from expressing yourself more or less fully. I'm not saying that I fill up 10. I'm not an expert, so I can't say E10.

But you are also welcome to describe what you mean in more detail.

I mean, and I wrote that too, that the wiring appears to be faulty. But I also think, and I also wrote that, that remote diagnosis is difficult.

Sa

I give my best. Unfortunately, I didn't know the full term, but apparently it was enough for you to come across TIA. Remote diagnosis is difficult, of course, but I'm not forcing you to help me. And I can do without it if it is more important to you to concentrate on small errors in the language of expression.

Sa

That's the problem. But the LAN signal is recognized on the laptop and on the Playstation. Therefore it has to be due to the PC.

br

But it can't be due to the PC because it has full functionality with another LAN cable (which you connect directly to the router).

Sa

Just. But why does the same "setup" (same LAN cable, same LAN socket) work on the laptop and on the Playstation?! 🤯

br

Some LAN chips react very intolerantly to errors (this can also be, for example, external voltage or external influences on the laid cable (power line or other device)). Try to set the network card to 100 instead of 1Gbit.

Sa

I have now set it to 100mbits. It now recognizes that a cable is plugged in and I also have internet, but only with a download of ~ 10mbps

br

Better than nothing. At least it works now… Must be the cable after all.

😂😂🤣🤣.

what else do you have in the download?

Sa

Directly on the Fritzbox (LAN): 430mbps
On the laptop (LAN, socket): 100mbps
Playstation (LAN, socket): 79mbps
PC (LAN, socket): 10mbps
PC (LAN, socket via external switch (netgear)): 10mbps

The same LAN cable was used in all tests
The "socket" values are the self-laid socket with CAT7 cable

br

Mhhh, I can't think of anymore.

O.K, if you have, try the following…

Fritzbox ---> Patch cable ---> Dose ---> Fixed LAN cable ---> Dose ---> Patch cable ---> IN Switch OUT ---> Patch cable ---> PC.

Sa

I don't understand what you mean by IN Switch OUT? A "normal" LAN switch?

br

Yes. Of course they don't have a defined IN / OUT, should just make it clear what I mean

Sa

Unfortunately it doesn't work either

br

O.K… I can't think of anything logical… I still believe that it is due to the fixed LAN cable.

Sa

Nevertheless, thank you very much for your efforts.
