jules13 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I turned my pc off last night and disabled the internet connection as usual. This morning, i clicked to enable it and a box saying that the local area network cable is unplugged. I don't know why its saying it, I haven't done anything that I haven't done before. All the leads and stuff are plugged in and I can still get on the network with the laptop and xbox so I don't know what's up. I'm using a Wanadoo Livebox to connect. Any suggestions?

sallonoroff Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Are you sure the network cable on the PC hasn't come loose at one end? Could the cable have been damaged? (trodden on, trapped in a door, etc) Failing that, it could be the network card is knackered... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steev Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I had this happen every few days on my old PC (note to geeks in case you see it happen again, known problem with certain nForce 3 250 mobos), assuming that Livebox thing connects via network, it could be the same thing that affected me... Try this... Start -> Control panel Double click Network connections. In the box which appears, right-click "Local area connection", & choose disable. Give it a couple of seconds to disable itself, then right-click again, & choose enable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steev Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Nah, just a known issue with Nforce 3 250 chipsets' onboard network dropping connection when the modem/router/whatever is reset or turned off. I re-installed drivers at least 1/2 dozen times before I worked it out, seems to be most common with Shuttles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
