Operating Systems
Resetting your Winsock settings can resolve this. The netsh network shell tool is the low-level administration tool for network commands on Windows. Finally, you can perform a full network reset from the Windows network settings menu. This will completely wipe all of your network configuration settings.
If the problem persists, the cause is likely due to a problem with your network devices. Check that your ethernet cables are connected correctly and if they are, switch out the cables. If that fails, connect to an alternative network to see whether the fault is due to an issue with your network router instead.
