      @theotherdan I've rebooted my router on several occasions. Didn't work.
      How would connecting my router directly to my pi help? I still would not be able to transfer files.
      All I want to know is how to connect my computer to my retropie. Should I call my Internet service provider and have them change the settings on my router, or is it something in the physical I can do in front of me, like a switch or something. I'm not sure what a packet trace is nor am I very familiar with terminal code. I think its something to do with my router, but not sure where to start.

        If you can connect directly to your switch, with a cable, you will effectively use a new MAC and will help prove or disprove the theory.

        Don't know what router you are using, but if it a wifi router, should have some ports you can plug a cable into.

        Additionally, if you have a spare memory card, load a fresh image and connect to wifi, and see if you can reach it via Samba or SFTP/FTP.

          @theotherdan Not sure the issue, but this thread is solved. I got a new computer and now my pi is updated and set!
