So, last Thursday our Comcast dropped out. Was without internet all weekend. The guy comes in yesterday, replaces the line and gets service restored to our wi-fi devices (phones tablets laptops), but my hard-wired ethernet connected PC still can't connect to anything.

- I have uninstalled the network adapter in Device Manager and rebooted. No fix.

I'm at my wits end to what I can do to get this working again. Steam, Spotify, Discord, Firefox, Edge, all are affected. I have no functional internet on my hard-wired PC even though Windows says I do.
