We have 4 desktop computers all connected to the router with ethernet cables.
At least 1 computer is poping up the 'Local Area Connection' "A network cable is unplugged" message about every 10 seconds and makes using the web nearly impossible.
I unplugged the ethernet cable from the back of this defective? computer and plugged the cable into my extra laptop. I have no more "cable is unplugged" error messages poping up on my laptop and I can use the web effortlessly, and suspect the problem lies somewhere in the aforementioned desktop computer, but who knows possibly exactly where?
Can anybody please help me to figure out this problem, so I can decide what to do to correct it?
Thank you very much for your time and effort.
P.S. At first I thougt it was the router, but then realized, if my laptop connects to the web, then it must be the desktop computer, but again, I don't know and hope someone can help me.
