    Had the same problem, but I was using a crossover cable. I manually configured the adapter settings like you did, but then right click the connection and "Bridge" the connection.

    Maybe a simpler solution, I carry a router ....set up your computer, router and printer. Make a small network right there and DHCP the devices to test. Much less trouble.

    Never had this problem using Windows 7 on my prior laptop
    Everybody else knows better than me on this, but it sure sounds to me like that's a security problem with the printer, like the older printers had with Windows 10. I think it had something to do with SMB1, but I'm probably wrong.

    Turned out the issue was the printer. The Oki MB470 isn't that old but simply would not connect. Tried connecting to an older Brother machine and worked perfectly in seconds

    To be sure it works, subnets and gateways are better to set them the same.


    I also recommend making a bridge between the network card and the wireless. This way you have access to the internet and the DNS work (if the browser is accessed without ip).


    Also you have checked that the LEDs on the ethernet card are flashing?

    have you tried assigning a different IP address to the printer? then try your setup that way.
