This also worked for me, sort of. What I did was roll back the second computer using
system restore to a date before this problem was happening. Then I shut down both
computers, unplugged them overnight, and started them again in the morning. It worked,
they were networked again! Mine was a more difficult problem because the second computer
is using an HPNA adapter, and I haven't found any answers specific to that. Most
of the answers are about the improper cable being used on ethernet networks instead
of phoneline networks.
I guess the advice I would give people is to use the answer we did, if your network
had worked at one time and stopped working with the "a network cable is unplugged"
message. Otherwise, if it has never worked, and it's an ethernet connection, either
use straight cable and a router, or use crossover cable for direct connection between
two computers.
