This is what I was told to do by my cable company after a clean install of XP on
my computer when I recieved the error "network cable unplugged". This " fix" was
easy and worked PERFECT ! The cable company told me this happens ALOT with XP and
that by following this simple instruction 9 times out of 10 it will work perfectly.
This is what you do. Make sure when you have your modem connected to the computer
the lights are all on first. ( this means your modem is working properly and your
drivers are probably installed properly as well ). Then : SHUT DOWN your computer
completely. UNPLUG the power cord from the tower ( the PC itself ). Leave the computer
off and unplugged for at least 15 minutes to a half hour. Plug the power cord back
into the tower
( your PC ) and turn the computer back on. Your problem should be fixed as long
as the computer was originally showing the Network Card and as long as your drivers
were installed. Fixed mine like a charm.
I was back on the internet as easy as 1-2-3! Hope this works as easy for you as
it did for me
