you may have changed some settings on the adapter
post an ipconfig /all

------------------------------------------------------------------------

ipconfig /all

We would like to see the results from an ipconfig /all - post back the results in a reply here.

If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to paste the results into something like notepad and then copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post the results in a reply here.
Save the file to a USB flash drive or other removable media. Plug it into the working computer with internet access and copy the file and paste here.

If you do not have another PC - do you have a phone connected to the internet - can you photograph the result and post the image in a reply
Note: you will see entries named Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface: we dont need to see that information - JUST the information above those entries

For Windows 8 or Windows 10

Did you go directly from Laptop to PC with your LAN cable? If so, this is a Crossover cable and not a standard straight thru cable that would connect thru a router or switch.

True in the past SF, but most ethernet interfaces now support Auto MDI-X, which automatically detects the required cable connection type and configures the connection appropriately. Crossover cables are usually no longer required to interconnect switches or connecting PCs peer-to-peer.
