| 358119 | 2005-05-29 05:11:00 | Its this bloody lappy .. have no problems with anything else .. the LAN connection is still showing the network cable is unplugged. I don't think you will get anywhere until the laptop stops showing this message and indicates that it is plugged in, whether the network is setup and working correctly or not. On the computers I have seen as long as the cable is plugged in it stops showing the "cable is unplugged" message. Perhaps something is wrong with the network port or the cables? |

| 358122 | 2005-05-29 09:16:00 | Your profile says that your in the Waikato..... what part? Perhaps you may be able to take the offending laptop to another pressF1 member nearby or they could come to you and sort the beastie out. Have a good look in the device manager of the laptop and ensure that there are no exclamation marks anywhere especially on the network adapters. If you have one this indicates a driver issue, I.E. no driver or incorrect driver for the device. |

| 358123 | 2005-05-29 10:44:00 | Westie .. there is nothing showing on the comp in settings anywhere or the device manager showing any problems except the LAN icon in the system tray telling us the cable is unplugged .. though ,, as Ive stated b4 .. it has actually connected. | Lovelee (6586) | ||
| 358124 | 2005-05-29 11:03:00 | Found this elsewhere: If you right click on My Network Place and select Properties you should see a list of connections probably one call Local Area Connection . When then is no physical connection you will see a red X on the connection . Is it possible that you are getting a momentary connection (the X disappears) and then losing the connection? If so you may have to force a specific connection rate on the NIC rather that auto-detect . To do this do the following: Right click on the Local Area Connection and click properties . Click on the configuration button right . Click on the Advanced tab . There you will see a list of options for the NIC . You should see on that says Network Media . Highlight that on and you should get a drop down list on the right (probably set to auto-sense) Click on it an select 10MBS half duplex . Click OK and close everything until you reach the My Network Places screen . if it was sucessful then the red X should be completely gone . Don't know if it will work for you or not because their connection was cable but you could give it a try . Just remember what you changed so you can put it back again if it didn't work . |

| 358125 | 2005-05-29 11:07:00 | Wait !! I have just seen elsewhere something else... you HAVE pushed the plug all the way in, haven't you?! :stare: | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 358126 | 2005-05-29 11:18:00 | Before I dive into this thread, I think it should be noted that Windows 9x does not possess the ipconfig utility so often accessed via cmd in Windows 2000 / XP. What you'll be needing for that is winipcfg. |

| 358127 | 2005-05-29 11:34:00 | Foxy .. hehehe .. yessss .. weve checked silly things like that .. many times .. u can imagine we are getting frustrated but I am Kiwi and he is Austrian .. we will not be beaten !! This is just a machine !! Your sugestion about the link speed and duplex was good .. but .. when I changed it .. and Ive tried many speeds .. it connects .. showing connection here on the lappy .. (no lights show on the connection where the crossover cable goes in though) showing the speed .. that its got the MSHOME comp .. i even saw lil yellow things going to the other computer .. :( then it went back to being unplugged again. Growly .. u better explain that .. wats 9x?? Ive had no problem getting the ipconfig .. it is in a different place on XP and ME. |
