Main desktop wont connect to internet

My main desktop computer has suddenly lost internet connection, it is using Ethernet, my wifi is fine on my laptop.
I have tried troubleshooting, switching the router on and off, but still no internet connection

thank you MintiC
 
Try ping 8.8.8.8
if you get timing data, you actually HAVE internet
then try ping google.com
if that fails, your problem is DNS, not the internet
