Greetings fellow sufferers of the darn, "Network Cable Unplugged!" ...
I've just finished a heavy session with Dell's email support ... and am happy report
that this problem on my Inspiron 2500 is now resolved !!
One important point to remember is that ICS (internet connection sharing) is an absolute
no, no and must be disabled for all networking under XP !!!
So without further messing, here is the contents of the email from Dell that solved
this problem for me, at least. HOPE IT HELPS U " !!!!!
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Dell Hardware E-Support and Services.
I have gone through your issue and feel that the following information will help
you.
Reseat the mini-PCI card.* - L2 chassis
To reseat the mini-PCI card, follow the steps below:
Locate the smaller of the two removable panels on the bottom of the computer. Use
a small Phillips (#1) to remove the screw. Lift off the cover. Push outward on the
two retaining clips. Once the clips release, the card will pop up at an angle.
Disconnect the wiring harness and carefully pull the card out of its socket.
Reseat the card, following the above steps in reverse order.
NOTE: For additional information regarding how to reseat the mini-PCI card, refer
to the Online User Guide in the resources above.
<<<<<< THIS IS THE MAIN BIT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hard set the media type in Windows. (2000/XP)
To hard set the media type, perform the following steps:
Right-click My Computer.
The My Computer menu appears.
Click Manage.
The Computer Management window appears.

Click the (+) symbol to the left of Network adapters in the right- hand pane.
Double-click the network adapter.
The Network Properties window appears.
Click the Advanced tab.
Change the connection speed (the name of the setting may be different according to
the card manufacturer and/or driver version)
If the hub is a 10/100/1000 auto-switching hub, configure the card for 10Mb.
If the hub is a 1000Mb only hub, configure the card for 1000Mb. If the hub is a 100Mb
only hub, configure the card for 100Mb. If the hub is a 10Mb only hub, configure
the card for 10Mb.
Configure the card for half duplex (the name of the setting may be different according
to the card manufacturer and/or driver
version.)
Click the Apply button and then click OK.
The Network Properties window closes.
Restart the computer.
.... and don't forget to disable ICS !!!!!!!!
Right click My Computer
left click on Manage
select Services & Applications
click on the + next to it and select Services
in the list in the right side of the window select ICS (its in the long form not
short hand like ICS) > right click for properties and select disable
Then click out back to the desktop and restart the machine
GOOD LUCK !!
