@quiet monk yesss the winsock and IP reset did it. got a normal address after rebootnig.. 🤷 thx for explaining the 169.254 thing. cant believe it was that simple lol

Pinging the router times out completely. sorry for the wall of text lol

any update on this?... came here to say exactly this

Did you install chipset/serial IO drivers from the laptop maker? ?

oof dont hop branches every week. pick one, note the version, and only change when smth you need is fixed or added. frequent switching makes troubleshooting harder.

hmmm which apps do you use for gaming, and do they list a recommended driver? ??

sorry forgot to say the OEM driver is quite a bit older than the current Sabertooth X79 Intel LAN Driver. idk what else to say tbh
