re: Network Cable Unplugged - Possible solution. Tuesday, March 1, 2005 at 6:44 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by alex (2 messages posted) I ran into the Network Cable Unplugged error on my last install of XP on a machine with an onboard LAN. I tried many suggestions on this thread and several others. Nothing worked. Then finally I disabled the onboard LAN from the BIOS. Got a new driver for the same NIC. installed it. at this time there is no NIC present as far as XP is concerned, but I just went thru the Add Hardware and added the card even though XP didn't find it. Restarted and enabled the NIC again. Worked fine this time. I should mention that I plugged in a harddrive from an identical machine, same MB. it found the NIC fine and worked fine, which led me to the conclusion that XP is the problem and nothing on the routers, cables, or the NIC itself. Hope this helps someone. I was ready to dump the MB in the garbage after a few days of trying.
