ASUS TUF (A15) 506C notebook does not connect to existing workgroup via ethernet connection.
The wifi connection is working. However, I want to use an ethernet connection so the refresh times are faster when I have several large CAD files open.
With direct connection to router, router shows link lamp illuminated green.
Running ComandPrompt > IPConfig, the ethernet address appears to be some default value 169.254.101.243 with a Subnet mask value, but no Gateway value (blank). Booting the laptop with the ethernet connection present does not yield any different a situation. Sadly, I am a legacy Win7/8/10 person. Finding stuff in Win 11 seems to be a cat-and-mouse puzzle (thanks Microsoft IMHO).
Are there any how-to tutorials available for getting into the Win11 configuration of the ethernet settings and establishing a connection to an existing workgroup ? I'd really like to be able to work faster then the wait times I am experiencing with 'saves' and 'file updates' over wifi.
Thank you everyone in advance - for any feedback and/or links to tutorials in the Eleven Forum.
