cynlix Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hi again, the problem that I'm faced with today is that the Local Area Connection pop-up on the taskbar is continually flashing with "A network cable is unplugged" warning. It is as if the computer detects a connection for a split second, and then losses it, and repeats. This problem happened out of nowhere, and I have no clue where to start looking for the problem. Thanks for the help in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I assume you have a network cable plugged into said port? If so, what is it connected to?~Phil~ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cynlix Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 It is connected to a router, and the to my ethernet port on my computer. The cable works fine, as I am able to connect to the internet via my laptop, so it is most likely some type of software problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you're on the same router port with the laptop then it's likely your desktop's port. Blow it out to remove dust etc. and check the cable is going in securely. If this doesn't help, it's likely you'll need a new card.~Phil~ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
