Troubleshooting • Rpi4B cannot connect via Ethernet

Hey folks, I am unable to connect via Ethernet on my Rpi4. I am on Trixie version of RpiOS.

Verified that:
* Wifi works
* There is consistent orange light and blinking green light in the ethernet port of Rpi
* Using another device, Ethernet connection is working

Tried:
* viewtopic.php?t=364247
* Disabling `eee`
* Disabling autoneg and setting to 100Mbps link

Using `tcpdump`, I can see the DHCP DISCOVER request coming out of the `eth0` interface, but I don't see the same request on the network using another device on the network. (I think you're supposed to be able to see all the DHCP DISCOVER on the network?). Thus there is no DHCP response.

`nmcli` says the connection is stuck at `getting IP configuration`.

Any help is appreciated
