Heavy rains got into our cellar where my office is, with my desktop on the floor. It got maybe an inch or two of water before my wife saw the water and got it off the floor. After stopping the flooding and mopping up, I opened it up and by then everything looked dried out so I took a deep breath and started up. After several POST fails, it did come up, saying Resuming Windows [it was in Sleep at the time] and the mouse took a long long time to become active, things worked really slowly, etc. I restarted and it was much better. I figure the heat of the board was finally drying out little bits here and there
Now the only thing failiing is the network. In ipconfig I get Media Disconnected. The Network is built in, I guess. There is no actual card in a slot, just a little metal box on the board that the cable goes into. It's a custom machine by a local computer shop, Windows 7 Pro. I have a laptop that works using the same ethernet cable, so things are good up to the point of the cable plugging into my box. In Device Manager it says the RealTek adapter is working properly.
When I plug in the cable, I dont see the usual little blining light on the side of the cable port
I shut iot down, and left it overnight with a hair drying set up a couple feet away to do a constant warm flow into the insides, then tried again just now, still the same Media Disconnected
So if the internet coming in from the cable is ok, and the device is "working", what does Media Disconnected mean?
here is the ipconfig /all
