I am suffering from the dreaded "network cable unplugged" problem.
My configuration is as follows:
1. LINKSYS WAG54G ADSL Router
2.Ethernet patch cable CAT at one end in port 2 of the router and at the other into
a RJ45 wall outlet.
3.The RJ45 wall outlet is connected through a hole in my study wall to another RJ45
wall outlet in my bedroom.
4. PC workstation connected via patch cable into port 1 of the router.
When I connect my laptop directly into port 2 of the router it works fine. I had
to change the network adapter settings to 10MBs /Half duplex rather than Autodetect,
but this now works fine.
The problem occurs when I connect my laptop into the RJ45 wall outlet in my bedroom
rather than directly into the router. This is where I still get the "network cable
unplugged" message.
I made the RJ45 connections myself. They look fine. I've checked that they are in
the right colour channels and the crimping looks ok. I do admit that this may be
the problem!
Is there anyone with any smart suggestions so that I can connect up my son's new
Xmas present (a PC!) tomorrow?
