Re;'A Network cable is unplugged'This was how I fixed it..
After trying virtually all the helpful suggestions-here and elsewhere,I was almost
crazy with frustration.Every time I came to log on I was confronted with the dreaded'Network
cable unplugged'with its evil icon!I just couldnt work out what was causing this.UNTIL,one
day,the message appeared and then I accidently clicked the DSL Modem icon in the
tray.I noticed the status of the device was alternating between'No signal received'and'Training
Mode'.This gave me the vital clue!
If the device was getting power from its source but no signal was being received,it
had to be something to do with the line between the device and the box linking it
to the telephone network.I detached the cable running from the modem to the telephone
adaptor.I then cleaned both ends as well as the sockets.The cable itself had become
rather tangled(as they do!)so I straightened it.Amazingly,the message disappeared
and so did its evil iconic companion.I have never seen them since!
