Cant connect to website despite having full connection on the desktop
I am connecting my Desktop with an Ethernet cord through a router and the connection is perfect and works on all other devices but the wired PC. I have tried using different Ethernet cords and changing the proxy settings but nothing has work. No other internet service will work on the desktop as well.

I miss the straightforward diagnostics of Windows XP, but Windows 7 does have some network diagnostics you can try (depending on whether you have Category or Icon view):
Control Panel > Network and Internet > "View network status and tasks"
Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center
If you click an active connection link, a dialog should open with a Diagnose button toward the bottom.
You might need to enable the DHCP server in the router, if it has one. I had to set that up for my computer. Getting access to the router settings might be tricky. Try shutting off the router and the PC, then start them both up and see if you can get into the router settings with the browser.
