For those of you having problems with the "Network cable is Unplugged"
1. If you are connecting from computer to computer
..A make sure you are using a crossover cable
.... for instructions on creating your own cat 5e
.... crossover cable please go to the following address
.... http://www.lanshack.com/make-cat5E.asp
..B If you still have problems connecting to another
.... computer take a quick look at part 3 at the bottom
2. If you are trying to connect to the internet via any
... Of the following devices then you DO NOT need a
... crossover cable. Use a straight through cable.
.... 2a Router
.... 2b Switch
.... 2c Hub
....... A Please note that this does not apply if you are
....... trying to connect other devices such a another
....... Switch, Hub or Router to an already existing item
3. Please note that when dealing with this particular
... problem I have found that for a majority of the
... users all that needs to be done is upgrade the
... device drivers for your LAN card. If your Card is
... Integrated (Or you can't remove it as it is built
... into the motherboard) then check to see if you
... have another Network connection showing up
... it will generaly have numbers in it coresponding to
... the type of southbridge you have on your
... motherboard. By disabling this in your control panel
... and then checking to see if you can connect will
... tell you that your device drivers are either not
... installed properly or the most up to date driver is
... not installed. In either case you can safely disable
... device in the control panel with any further problems
... or risk to the Operating System.
FYI: Always keep up to date at Windows Update Site this will assist you in keeping
your system from having problems.
If you need any further information concerning the southbridge or you are still unable
to connect and get the "Network Cable Unplugged" please repost with specific information
pertaining to your System
I hope this helps most of you out with your problem!
