re: Network Cable Unplugged Friday, October 31, 2008 at 7:26 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by dsp... (1 messages posted) Problem Solved: I went through the many messages in this forum trying various fixes; none worked. My issue was autonegotiation -the switch that the ethernet cable connecting to the desktop probably has issues w/the particular type of Dell computer configuration (Realtech network adaptor) but the switch is located behind the wall somewhere. Also, user had gotten Windows automatic updates overnight asking for restart, which they did. Lastly, computer had been working fine when they left the office the night before. Issue boils down to DHCP and the switch not knowing what speed to connect to user's network adaptor. Troubleshooting steps (restart/reboot along the way too): * Reboot * Check that ethernet cable connections are secure (computer & wall; unplug/replug) * Unplug & replug power cable, power strip (toggle strip power button) * Disable & enable network adaptor in Network Connections * Remove & (scan for changes) add adaptor back in device manager. When this fails and "network cable unplugged" still shows in Network Connections: * Right click Local Area Connection & choose Properties. * General->Configure->Advanced->Speed & Duplex-> Value (to the right currently set to "Auto") & then choose: 10Mb Half. Click OK. * Watch the Local Area Connection to see "Connected" under Status (in Network Connections). * Reboot computer.
