the only thing i did different was to try all ports on my desktop pc, eventually i found one that it likes

I'm glad you found a solution. I've found that Windows sometimes turns off USB ports for no apparent reason. These days I always connect to my PC via USB hubs, and when I have lost a couple of ports, disconnecting and reconnecting the hub brings them back and is much quicker than rebooting Windows.

Now that you have firmware installed, you can send M552 S1 to enable the Ethernet port, then try to connect via the network.

BTW the output from YAT will make more sense if you change the line ending in Text Settings to LF Only.

Right, then follow the links above to restore your SD card and maybe pin a medal on that port so you can easily find it if you need it again.

Happy times ahead.

I've had this problem with Windows for forever. If a device has already been detected on a port and "something" happens to the device or driver, you basically have to disconnect the device, uninstall the driver, reinstall the driver, then re-attach the device or that port-device combination is forever doomed. Sometimes you even have to do a "show hidden devices" in Device Manager and manually uninstall the driver. Just another reason I use Windows only when absolutely necessary.

It has been a nightmare for me because I have to buy a brand new laptop and PC, just to end up working with an old computer lol, now start working to get it connected to the network, thanks for all that help me out

@Phaedrux i don't know if it has to do with me not having the correct config. file but when I type M587 S"your-network-ssid" P"your-network-password" it says command not supported

@Reaperrhs Duet 3 doesn't have WiFi. You're following the instructions for the Duet 2 Wifi. Use the instructions for the Duet 2 Ethernet. https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/1.)+Getting+Connected+to+your+Duet/7#s20

Edit: I've changed the title of that section to make it clearer.

Duet3 does not support WiFi. If you're using the Duet3 with a Raspberry Pi you need to configure the WiFi in the Raspberry Pi. sudo raspi-config and find network/wirelses.

To set up regular Ethernet see M552 command in the wiki.

thanks, i didn't abut using the duet 2 ethernet settings on the duet3, I'm connected now FINALLY, THANKS TO EVERYONE
