My Macbook pro won't connect with Ethernet but will to wireless.

"My Macbook pro won't connect with Ethernet but will to wireless. *** I've tried everything,including restarting the router,cable modem and laptop. Verified that the ethernet adapter works, using another Mac. Tried using another ethernet cable, that works on the other Mac. Plugged the other Mac into the ethernet cable that does not work with the laptopand the other Mac connected just fine. Any suggestions?"

Turn off the wifi on the computer you are trying to connect to Ethenet.

Exactly what make&model adapter are you using?

if you want to compare with another computer, what model is that one, and what MacOS is it running?

... and you did not answer what status is showing in the network pane under Ethernet.

What adapter?

have you tried a different port on the Router, as a hedge against a dead port?

how do you know your cable is good?

exactly what stays show in

settings >Network > Ethernet ?
