"A network cable is unplugged."
I get the same message when one of my computers either is
restating or turned off. Matt H -----Original Message----- We have a small network, four computers running Windows XP. It has been running fine for months. Suddenly, without any observable issue, we get this pop-up message "Local Area Connection -- A network cable is unplugged." Then after a 5-30 seconds, a second pop-up message appears: "Local Area Connection is now connected - - Speed 100.0 Mbps" These messages continue appearing randomly throughout the day at intervals of every few minutes. It is very frustrating and disruptive, and affects our ability to send and receive email. The first time, I checked all cable and network card connections, so this is not the problem. It apparently has something to do with some obscure settings, and is likely an erroneous message. It may also have something to do with a recent update from Microsoft. However, until it disappears, our operation is not stable. Any ideas? Bill B . |

"A network cable is unplugged."
I think your issue is related to mine-please see below as this is driving us
nuts. This problem just started a few weeks ago, before that thinks have been fine for the past two + years. I'll currently working on this and I post any info I come across. Setup: Win2k server as AD & DNS and is the file server for mixed clients, win9x, win2k and winxp. The win2k and winxp machines are laptops. The problem is that some of the winxp user receives a warning that connection to the server has been lost and only off-line content is available. You are now working offline. The truth is the server remains online. This is not a problem except that one users files get corrupted or they become ~hidden files. The connection changes its state from time to time and all the files that have not been "offline" appears and hides. I have configured and reconfigured all the offline settings without any improvement. This is causing a major problem as one user has lost data from a document that he tried to print when the warning came up that the computer was no longer connected to the server. This by the way is not happening to the win2k users. Any advice on how to track down this problem would be a great service to us...the winxp user group! Thanks alex "Matt H" wrote in message ...
