Internet network connection issue

[HW2019]

Cannot connect to the internet with ethernet cord. Have tried several different setup connections. Cannot tell if it's a firewall issue Windows Defender says it's not using the recommended settings but I quit use recommended settings and and then I've tried changing the network sharing and nothing. The internet was just working yesterday on my daughter's HP Pavilion gsming computer and now nothing.
