"Network Cable Unpluged" but it's not.

[ajw06]

my computer displays "Network Cable Unpluged" but it's not. I looked at the motherboard and there are no lights on next the the socket.

Any Ideas.

If it says the network cable is unplugged, and you are SURE that it is securely plugged into the back of your computer, then there could be two causes.

The first and most likely cause is that the other end is not connected, although it is possible that there is a break in the cable or a short, which is causing it to display that message.

Make sure you also installed network drivers...

 

[ajw06]

I know the cable can't be brocken because there was a computer connected to the same cable and network point there before it.

 

[oscaryu1]

Are you going through a router? Have you installed/checked the drivers? Go to device manager and see how it's doing. Does it have a exclamation mark by it?

 

[ajw06]

The computer that won't connect was connected to the network before it has just bee moved to a new location. It is going through a switch box.

 

[Geoff]

I don't believe it is a driver issue because if there was no driver then you wouldnt see the NIC listed.

So you have checked the other side of the connection which is connected to the switch, correct?

how about, is it enabled, so if you right click on the network it should say dissable. so if you click it it would disable it (meaning it is enabled now)

 

[ajw06]

i have checked both ends of the connection. as i said the light on the mothboard is not lit up. i dought it is the drivers because i was using it ten minutes before i mothed it.

cut the wire like you cut your wrist.

Is the switch turned on? Is the light corresponding to the port on the switch lit? Are you using a straight through cable and not a cross over?
