The answer is probably not high tech. If you have a laptop and plug and unplug your
laptop a lot. Well computer manufacturers and cable makers don''t work to close tolerances.
In order to connect to the internet your cbale and your computer have to make a connection.
Wiggle the cable and if the error message goes away that is the problem. Now how
do solve. I simply broke a toothpick in half and wiggle the connectors until they
made a connection, I held it one hand and carefully pushed the toothpick in until
the cable was tight. When I disconnect my cable, I just make sure I have a supply
of toothpicks.
