I was also knocking my head against what seemed to be brick walls over the drated
"Network Cable" message perpetually poping up. I am using a DI 624 Router and my
desktop is wired directly into it. In trying to eliminate culprits, I took the router
out of the picture and, what the heck?, the problem went away. Trolling for explanations,
I googled "firmware updates" for my router, and found a couple. I downloaded and
installed them, re-inserted the router into the network and the problem has disappeared.
