What does it mean when the computer says network cable unplugged.
I have a PC with Win XP on it, that won't log on to the network, it says network cable unplugged, but i have checked all of the cables and they seem fine. what else can cause this error and how do I check and fix it?
it just means that one of your wires are either unplugged or something is turned off. check all the modem wires
OK, assuming the cable is good and the link light is on, on your network card and you did try another cable and you did check your network card is OK and you have the right drivers for your network card... OK, stop pulling out your hair now, take a deep breath,
Where does the other end of the network cable plug into? a router, a dsl/cable modem or another computer? Did you reset (power off-power on) the other device? is the link light on the other device on?
If everything checks out OK and you are still getting that error and you are using win xp, there is a nice feature in XP that can help you (it has worked for me many times) go to the control panel (in classic mode) double click on network connections, find the icon for LOCAL AREA CONNECTION, do a right click on it and choose REPAIR from the pop up menu....
If after checking all things and it still does not work, I would suggest scanning for viruses or Trojans... as these things can interfere with networking....
Don't worry you will get it fixed !!!!!
it means that Bill Gates wants to hinder you in all that you try to do, even though it won't affect him at all!!
If the cable is plugged in, look closely at the port on the computer that it's plugged in to. there should be one or two LEDs there and one or both of them should be lit.
If no LEDs are lit, there are three likely causes.
1. The network interface card has failed.
2. The cable is defective.
3. The port at the other end of the network run is bad or has a devective patch cable on it.
Check with your network admin for more information.
It could also be that you have a router that has MAC address filtering enabled and you need to add the MAC address of your computer to the list of valid addresses.
Good Luck,

problem with your modem
It means everything, software-wise, seems to be working, but the computer doesn't detect any connection. I would try a different cable. Things I've seen that can cause this: using a crossover cable, using a phone cord, cable not plugged in all the way. there are lots of possibilities.
You have a bad cable. try replacing one cable at a time to be the most economical.try the main cable from the PC to the net first.
Wishing you luck!
I bet U need a new modem...if U can not find that the cable is disconnected...
It means you are trying to use the wrong network card. try and run network setup again and it will find your card
In my expirience it means something but doesn't do anything.
If you are not directly connected (by cable) to your Internet but through a network at home, then it means you need to have the settings checked. if connected directly (by cable) then turn your modem off for 6 seconds and turn back on meanwhile restarting your computer. that should fix, if not it could need more detailed troubleshooting. good Luck, hope this helps...
your cable may have a short in it try swaping it out
