Can't connect with ethernet cable

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that I am loading RatOS 2.1 for a new build. I can connect to the Pi using Wifi but I am unable to connect using ethernet. The router sees it and has given it a static ip but I can't connect to it either through the browser or SSH. If I install Raspberry Pi OS lite I have no issues connecting to the Pi with ethernet. Is RatOS blocking my ethernet communication? I have used Etcher, Rufus, and Pi imager and get the same results with all of them.

Can you paste ifconfig -a or ip a output

Well, once I select one of the available WiFi’s then I can instantly connect to the pi using Ethernet. That is a strange behavior to block Ethernet communication until WiFi is selected.
