Ethernet ports (hard wired) not working on PC
I transferred from Talk Talk full fibre a week ago and now my computer will not connect to some sites via ethernet cable (ok on the same sites when using Wifi). Sky have sent me a new router which turned out to have the same issue.. I have had all my hardware checked and stress tested, including the cableage it's self all are confirmed.
In the short time i have been with Sky I have spent hour on the phone with them trying to resolve this
Problem, even though their operatives have been polite and helpfull, I still have this problem.. The last conversation has left me believing they want to deflect the cause onto problem onto my set-up. It was fine with TalkTalk problem only occured when Sky took over. Is anyone else having a connection problem like this.?
Best Regards
Andy.

Re: Ethernet ports (hard wired) not working on PC
@Andy458 while it is possible to have one hub with faulty ethernet ports to have two is very unlikely. There are no settings on the hub which could cause the issue and your's is not an issue we see reported in the forum. I would check the network settings especially check the IP4 address which should be in thecrange 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thecgateway has to be 192.168.0.1 as if you are still using the settings for Talk Talk thst would explain the issue.

Re: Ethernet ports (hard wired) not working on PC
As @Chrisee indicates, by default a typical current TalkTalk router issues addresses in a different IP range (192.168.1.2-254 / 255.255.255.0 ) to a Sky Hub which would result in an incompatibility if they are being retained.
