re: Network Cable Unplugged Wednesday, December 3, 2003 at 11:59 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bob (1 messages posted) I also get the "unplugged" message, but under strange circumstances. Two computers, latest XP Home patches, identical MB's and VIA Rhine II Ethernet cards. LAN connections are happy as long as these two computers are connected. Took computer 1 and tried to connect it to a laptop...got "unplugged". Reconnected to computer 2 and it's fine. Took computer 2 and connected it to the laptop. Everything's fine. Got a NetGear router and two new ethernet cables. Plugged computer 2 in and got connected. Plugged computer 1 in an "unplugged" again! I'm thinking it's probably the NIC in computer 1, but why is it happy when it's connected to computer 2??? Any suggestions welcomed.
