in a house. if thats what your asking.

yeap! check first of all your rooter, then check Ethernet's drivers and install them again if it is necessary. my brother had this problem and when i re-installed the drivers for the Ethernet card it was ok.

the router and modem are ok, i tried to reinstall the drivers and nothing worked. When i open up network conections it says that a cable is unpluged. i checked all cables. nothing. this happened all of a sudden without any changes to the computer or router/modem. Now what?

check if there is any dust before plugging the ethernet cable, it is a bit strange since you check the cables to received that message. so if you reinstall the drivers and the problem is still remains, i will suggest you to borrow a pcmcia card with RJ45 and try to connect from there, just to check if the problem is from your ethernet card or not, or you can try with wireless.

i would say it could be a driver.

RandomHero34 · 05-05-2008, 04:08 PM

dust is not the problem, i took out what i thought was the ethernet card but im not sure if it was. It has 2 regular phone jacks on it. i took that out and nothing happened. I plug my ethernet cable into the back of my computer. You cant take that jack out. when i plug in the cable it should have 2 lights blinking but none are on. Im not sure if this means anything but i have a dell and it has lights A B C D and they are all lite up. Should they be? i dont ever remember them all being lite up. Someone please help. Do i need a ethernet card? i tried the drivers from the disks my computer came with. Are there other drivers i should try?
