| 673512 | 2008-05-28 22:58:00 | Hey guys, I have a problem in that my comp keeps disconnecting me from my home network. It keeps telling me a "network cable is unplugged" then it tries to reconnect, which it holds for a few seconds, and disconnects again, repeating that process. It had starting doing this a couple months ago, just randomly disconnecting but it would always reconnect. Now I cant get on for any longer than 5 seconds. I've tried everything from different cables, reinstalled drivers for my network card, changed pci slots, reset my router and oh yeah...re-installed my OS even. What is weird though is that I can direct connect to my laptop no worries. The laptop connects fine to the network though, both wirelessly and cabled. Im running XP and the router is a Linksys WAG52.something...4 port..2 phone lines(sorry!:).... cheers in advance! Ron |

| 673516 | 2008-05-28 23:58:00 | Loose ethernet cable, perhaps? | Renmoo (66) | ||
| 673517 | 2008-05-28 23:59:00 | If you can connect your PC to your laptop fine then they are both OK, which leaves only the switch, I'm with SolMiester on this one - sounds like he knows all about it! | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 673518 | 2008-05-29 00:20:00 | Meh, I misread the question. :blush: :blush: Thought OP meant he could connect his lappy direct to the router. /cowers in corner |

| 673519 | 2008-05-29 00:22:00 | I am having to re access my like for Linksys routers, I am now up to 4 V2 model switch failures....The wireless still works however the 4 port at the rear starts playing up then eventually fails completely | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 673520 | 2008-05-29 00:53:00 | Meh, I misread the question . :blush: :blush: Thought OP meant he could connect his lappy direct to the router . /cowers in corner No you're right (I think) From what I read he's saying that the Laptop could connect to router fine, the Laptop could connect to the desktop fine, but the desktop couldn't connect to the router |

After what Sol has said though, I'd be a little suspicious of the router. Also make sure to use the same port on the router when testing - I've seen routers with 2 ports fine and 2 ports not working. |
