Ethernet question

We lost communication from the PC to the driver station and from the driver station to the router. It seems like the Ethernet ports to the driver station stopped working.
Any suggestions on why this might be?

Also, we have tried to ping it while wired, but it wouldn’t work.

Try this thread. Unfortunately, it sounds like you might have fried your Driver Station.

That’s the conclusion we came to. But we can’t understand how it happened.
