Network Cable

I installed XP about three days ago, and ever since then,
about every 15-20 seconds, in the taskbar, the network
icon, with a red X appears, with a caption saying, "Local
Area Connect - 'A network cable is unplugged.'" I go
into network conncetions, and there's only one connection
there, and it says it's working properly, and also at the
same time, I'm connceted to the internet, so it is cleary
connected. If anyone could tell me how to fix the
problem, or even at least and more importantly, stop the
message from popping up, it'd be a great help, thanks.

This Microsoft Knowledge Base article might help, even if your network
card isn't the one listed the

MSBBN: "A Network Cable Has Been Unplugged" Message Appears at
Seemingly Random Intervals

Other possibilities include downloading and installing the latest
XP-compatible network card driver, and checking the network cabling.
