Network Cable "Unplugged"
I keep getting a bubble that pops up in the system tray
(lower right) that says the network cable is unplugged. The cable is plugged in and i'm accessing the net just fine. Does anyone know why this pops up, when clearly there are no cables unplugged?? Thanks MJW |

Network Cable "Unplugged"
Hello,
You could have a cable that is shorting and needs to be replaced or it could be there is a problem with the card itself. Have you tried a new Cat-5 cable? Did it duplicate the result?

Computers are Not People you can Not take the Error Statements literally.
Cables unplugged might mean that you do not have a valid connection due to an NIC failure or any other basic Network related hardware and Not necessarily Bad/Unplugged Cable per-ce.

Disable the power saving option in the network card's properties, as shown here, even if you have a different network card than mentioned in the article: MSBBN: "A Network Cable Has Been Unplugged" Message Appears at Seemingly Random Intervals http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;811595 -- 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.
