Could Really use help with using ethernet for netplay

Hey guys so I have already managed to get netplay working through my wifi, after having had problems with it.
I had to change ip to static, and port forward.

But now the wifi just isnt good enough especially when the whole family needs to use the internet.
So I have tried using an ethernet connection.
The wire is fine (took it from a desktop that was using it fine), and am able to get online by connecting with the ethernet cable.
However when it comes to netplay, I can not host nor join any matches.

I am not sure if there is such a thing as port forwarding for ethernet connections, but I have tried many things. I am doing this to help my ping and not have to worry about someone watching a youtube video. If you have any suggestions as to how to get netplay working with an ethernet cable, please let me know. Thank you a bunch.

I don't see why you couldn't portforward while using ethernet, if your ip is what you can't find just type "ipconfig" in cmd

Unless there's something weird going on, the static IP and port forwarding shouldn't have changed when OP switched from wireless to wired.
OS: Windows 10 64 bit Professional
CPU: Intel i5 4670K @3.4GHz... for now @4.6GHz with a quick and dirty (yet stable) OC. May get faster in a bit before the end of time.
RAM: 16GB (Down from 24 GB after some was given to siblings)
GPU: Radeon Vega 56

You need to port forward the wired connection; your internal IP will change when you change connection methods, meaning the port you previous opened is pointing to somewhere else.

Got it. Yah for some reason I didnt think using the ethernet would give me a different ip address so i was port forwarding the wrong ip...
So now I can connect to people but I myself can not host (it times out and I can't get the code).

If you feel like helping with this it would be great,
but otherwise Thanks To Everyone For The Help

You need to make sure your firewall has an exception, and you're portforwarded to the proper address. That's it.
