The built-in LAN uses Realtek RTL8153 v31, which loads the old AppleUserECM drivers on OSX. This driver is buggy and it will cause intermittent failures on the built-in ethernet. It may look "green" in system settings but it will not respond to any terminal commands like ping.
I bought a separate USB Lan dongle using a RTL8157B chip, and plugged that into one of the monitor's USB ports. This allows me to keep the single-cable USB-C to my laptop, and still have reliable hardwired LAN.
The fact that i got the same error using the USB-B connection made me think something is wrong. For USB-B connection, I did try 3 different cables.
I can try a different USB-C cable later. If it still gives me the same error, i guess I would return or exchange. It's inconvenient for using with different laptops w/o the USB hub.

By using two USB cables, you could be causing some sort of fault that is giving you the issue you are having.
I've use a few Dell monitors with full dock built in and just use ONLY the USB-C cable for full functionality.

For my laptop, i only used USB-C. I tried 3 different USB-B cables for my older desktop which doesn't have USB-C port.
I am gonna try to setup the USB-B to desktop USB-A next. hopefully the unknow usb device on desktop will also be resolved.
I tried a few laptops with USB-C port. None works. In Device Manager, it says "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).
I also tried on a desktop with USB-B cable connected, same error in Device Manager. I searched online but none of the solutions works for me.
Wonder if my monitor has defect?
Desktop connects to USB-B and Display Port.
Laptop connects to USB-C.
I can use the same keyboard and mouse connected to monitor's USB ports when switching video inputs.

Now that you mentioned the PBP function, I will try it out.
