Network Cable Unplugged

[archspace]

---

I tested my globe lines modem to check if okay ba akong internet connection sa akong pc. But everytime i connect nko ang cable, i get the error "Network Cable Unplugged", then mo switch napod sa "Renewing IP" (not really the exact wording).

This modem and the wires works well in my sisters laptop but not on my desktop, what could be the problem? (just an additional info, this desktop is recently purchased, if this is of any help)

I installed all the drivers and reinstalled it just to be sure.

So the icon on my task bar is marked with X, then it starts to detect or renew the ip again and the cycle continues.

Try to change the Link Speed and Duplex settings (Device Manager) to use "100 Mbps Full Duplex" or "10 Mbps Full Duplex" instead of Auto Detect. It helps in some cases.

I think it would be safer to change it to "10mbps half duplex" or something along those lines depending on what network interface card you are using. I'm quite positive this has something to do with the speed and duplex just as softouch does.

Several possible causes of "A Network Cable Is Unplugged" messages exist. The error message appears on a computer when an installed Ethernet Adapter is seeking to make a network connection. Try the following tips to resolve your problem:

• Disable the Ethernet network adapter if you are not using it. This applies, for example, when running a WiFi home network with computers that have built-in Ethernet adapters. To disable the adapter, double-click the small Network Cable Unplugged error window and choose the Disable option.
• Check both ends of the Ethernet cable connected to the adapter to ensure they are not loose.
• Replace the Ethernet cable with a different one to verify the cable is not damaged.
• Update the network adapter driver software from the manufacturer's Web site.
• Change the Link Speed and Duplex settings (using Device Manager) to use "100 Mbps Full Duplex" or "10 Mbps Full Duplex" instead of Auto Detect.
• Replace the Ethernet network adapter if it is a removable PCI or PCIMIA card. First remove and re-insert the existing adapter hardware to verify the card is connected properly. If necessary, also replace it with a different card.
• The device your Ethernet adapter is connected to, such as a broadband modem or network router may be malfunctioning. Troubleshoot these devices as needed.

hope this helps..

the RJ-45 connector is not getting metal to metal contact with ethernet card socket. in other words it's got loose connection. get a new connector and re-crimp the cable or get a new utp cable with the connector already crimped. or replace the ethernet card (if not built in).
