Network cable unplugged
Have you tried plugging the NIC into a different port using one of the other
cables? Does it work then?

This would appear to be a simple problem with a simple solution but I have not been able to figure it out. I am trying to connect a Win XP Pro machine in a 5- computer P2P-network sharing Internet through a router using IDSL service. All other 4 computers work fine (have Internet, can share files and printers), but the fifth one has given many problems. First, I couldn't renew the IP address with the DHCP server. I am not convinced that that problem is resolved yet, but now another problem came up that is equally perplexing. So far I: updated the NIC drivers from RealTek tried to manually assign an IP address ran "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" ping'ed the loopback address (successfully) ping'ed the localhost (successfully, before "network cable is uplugged" message appeared) checked the cable connections (there is a green light on the port that the computer is connected to) used a different patch cable disabled McAfee virus-scan verified there is no firewall connected on said computer Can anyone explain why I would receive "network cable is unplugged" for the LAN adapter icon in My Network Connections? Furthermore, once the cable is connected, why I can't "Repair" the LAN connection and retrieve an IP address from the DHCP server. The IDSL service provider said that the router's table is configured properly. All other 4 computers can attain an IP address from the DHCP server. Cheers, Mike B. |
