"network cable unplugged"
Problem with a local area network operating within
telephone line through a network card. Intermittently, there is an network message "A network cable unplugged" and the network is down. I have check and replaced external cables to no avail. I manually reset IP addresses, which I thought helped for a while, but now problem is back even though I rechecked the IP addresses. There doesn't seem to be any explanations of this error message in the MS information base. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

There doesn't seem to be any explanations of this error message in the MS information base. Any suggestions would be appreciated. If I understand your question, your have a HomePNA (Home Phoneline Networking Alliance) network that connects your computers through the house's telephone lines. That message means that your computer can't detect a connection to the network. In an HPNA network, it means that your computer can't detect any other computers on the network, i.e. your computer isn't networked with anything else. I've seen the same problem using HPNA, and I'm not sure what causes it. It could be sub-standard in-wall telephone wiring or electrical noise on the telephone wires. The only solution I've found is to disable and then enable the network connection. Changing IP addresses won't have any effect on the problem. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

"network cable unplugged"
A not riskless way of dealing with this problem, a particularly
irksome one if your are using DHCP determined IPs for your workstations, is to disable Media Sensing: http://support.microsoft.com/default...NoWebContent=1 Best, Bill Castner On Fri, 30 Apr 2004 08:34:17 -0700, "ed" wrote: Problem with a local area network operating within telephone line through a network card.
