I have a router connected to a cable modem. One pc is directly connected to the
router. It gets the "network connection is unplugged" periodically. (I updated all
drivers in the last month) All I do is close this message and I can always get to
the internet after it. The other pc is connected by a wireless connection to the
router. It also gets this message. Can I disable the eithernet card on that machine
since it's not being used? If so, can I do it from the control panel?
The wireless connected pc also does a lot of "beep boop" sounds. Nothing seems to
be running at this time and is very annoying. It's not connected with being on the
internet or not. Has anyone come across this problem as well?
