Is this a Windows PC?
Do you have the right drivers for the on-board LAN?
Thanks. It's a W10 pc but my technical ability does not include knowing about relevant drivers
Have you run the network troubleshooter in Windows 10?
Unfortunately, my experience is that Windows 10 arrives with generic drivers. These are the bits of software that sit between the hardware and the PC. I had to get the right drivers for the LAN bit of the PC. This can involve getting the drivers from the PC maker.
First, is the PC's LAN socket connected to the right socket in the router?
Which router are we talking about? You may have given the forum this information, but it has not passed it on to the rest of us.
