Network cable is unplugged

[Brian]

I have a cable line which goes into a router. I have 2
computers connected to the router. One is running windows
98 and the other is running Windows XP. The windows 98 is
runnung prefect but the XP will not let me connect to the
internet. I keep getting a "Network cable is unplugged
command". I took the connection out of windows XP and
plugged it into the other computer and it ran fine.
I have already replaced my Network card and have had
several people look at my setting and everything is fine
as far it being set up properly. It just happened
overnight and I cannot get any help from any tech support
I have spoken with. Please, Does anyone know anything
about what might be causing this?

Windows XP might be turning off the network card to save power.
Disable the power saving option in the network card's properties.
This Microsoft Knowledge Base article should help, even if you don't
use the network card that it describes:
