re: Network Cable Unplugged Friday, November 28, 2003 at 3:37 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by rich thomas (10 messages posted) I guess I can add to the pile of issues here. I just connected my desktop and laptop together on a ethernet network, cat5e cable from ethernet port on desktop to port 1 on a Gigafast switch. Cat 5e cable from port 2 on Gigafast switch to Xircom cardbus 100+modem 56 PCMCIA card in my laptop. Laptop generates "network cable unplugged message" and has a red "x" through the LAN. Desktop LAN appears to be fully functional. Port 1 shows link light, port 2 shows nothing. Tried switching cables, reseating Xircom card, uninstalling/reinstalling Xircom card, switching ports on switch. I too am losing hair over this, please help. -JX On Thursday, November 27, 2003 at 11:03 am, Chris Burgess wrote: >I have exactly the same problem as has been identified by several people within this >forum, and despite a Google search I have been unable to fix the problem. > >After installing a new PCI NIC on a new(ish) Dell PC running XP, I always get a "Network >Cable Unplugged" logo in the system tray.
