re: Network Cable Unplugged Tuesday, October 12, 2004 at 5:20 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Brendan Simon (1 messages posted) I have a oldish Dell machine with a 3COM 3C905C-TXM card. I had Win2K installed for years and I never had 1 network problem. I decided to install to WinXP (complete fresh install including formatting of HD) now I get the infamous network cable unplugged problem Nothing hardware has changed!!! ie. same cables and network switch. The only way I can get the network card to see the switch is to power cycle the switch. Unfortunately when I reboot the machine I am back to square one and have to power cyle the switch again. VERY ANNOYING!!! I have installed the latest 3COM drivers that I could find and that seemed to make it worse if anything. I am going to try moving PCI slots but I can't figure out for the life of me why this should work. I've tried setting the driver to fixed speeds (100Full, 100Half, 10Full & 10Half) but I can't get any of them to work. Any ideas??? Brendan Simon.
