Sitting at my sister's home, I can use the WLAN easily. Lappy connects to it automatically.
But I have LAN (yes, a physical cable) in my guest room that would give me better speed. I plug it into the laptop - and it will not connect. I even gave LAN priority in the settings.
I cannot find a setting to tell it to use the darn ethernet cable. Where do I look?
@Firlefanz It's supposed to just work. I just tested it too.
First troubleshooting step. Is the cable even physically detected? I.e.: Do you see a green blinky light in the ethernet ports? I don't know if your laptop has one, so you might have to track the cable to the router/network switch.
I'm going to assume that something is wrong with the cable. Laptop does have an ethernet port, I can plug in the cable. (It works at home, with my own cable.)
Since this is not my home, I won't be able to check the cable in detail. WLAN does work, so it is what it is.
