"Network cable plugged" message intermittantly. Tried some fixes I googled. Still occurs. Windows XP sp2, 5 year old Dell puter. Have a linksys router that networks with another desktop. No such messages or service disruptions noted on the remote computer.
I have FINALLY got to the bottom of why my PC is freezing, after weeks of trial and error. It runs perfectly normally when I unplug the Belkin USB Wireless adapter. Is there a way of repairing this? Do I need to download something to stop it from happening?
I need to have network drive on my Windows XP computer. In order for a software to work, there needs to exist a network drive, named N, existing on my PC. Since there's not a second PC to link to, what I did was to created a directory named est on the same PC , share it out, and then, map a network drive, named N, to it. When my PC has an Ethernet cable connected to a switch, Windows XP will see that N drive (existing on the same PC). The moment I disconnect that Ethernet cable from the switch, the N drive is gone. Is there a way to have a mapped network drive on XP (as mentioned above), without the need to have a network cable connecting that PC to a switch?
i gotta problem "local area 2 connection a network cable is unplugged" ive looked in the forums but they mostly apply 2 wireless, laptop, connecting to other computers (gr8 its saying it again ) yea my computer is a stand alone am using a BT voyager 105 adsl modem, windows XP SP2, AOL is my ISP talked 2 them but really no help after doing wut they say so if any 1 has any solutions then that wud be a gr8 help thanks ps plz tell me in simple words.
I have 3 computers on wired network and have to move one computer to another room. It would much more convenient to use the existing cable which would have to be coupled in two places, however I have been told that although this can be done it is not recommended, and have also been informed that it would be ok to use couplings.I would like to know if they are ok to use and what type to use.
I recently installed verizon VZ Access Manager to use my blackberry as a tethered modem. Since then, I have noticed that neither my wireless nor my wired LAN connections appear in Network Connections. My connections work fine. I am using a wired LAN connection to send this. However, the connection does not appear in Windows Network Connections. According to what I've read, the connection should be automatically entered there.
After I used Ghost to restore image I can not log into domain.If I disconnected network cable, I can log into domain. After that,I need to connect network cable into pc to get all resource.Why? How to fix this problem?
New to the forum and also Win XP Home only had new system since Christmas was on Win ME before, I have an icon of 2 small monitors with a red cross in my taskbar the message when I run mouse over is 'Local Area Connection' a network cable is unplugged.
First of all, I would like to say that I am an IT tech, so there's no need to explain everything in details. I'm posting here, because I'm having trouble with some hardware compatibility that happens only with Windows XP Service Pack 2c , and not SP2.I might as well post this in the Hardware sub forum.According to Microsoft, there's nothing that was added to the OS, other than a new range of license keys. But for what I can see, there's definately something different other than that in the OS.Here are some specs of the systems I am using.
hey budies good to be here. i am a windows lover and i love to work in windows ..last month i worked in linux ubuntu and one thing i loved in it s whenever i inserted a cd-rom or plugged in a usb pendrive it jus pops it in the desktop like a new icon pops in the desktop of your usb or the cd so you can access it in the esktop itself and this is really cool i hope u all understand what am stating..i wanted to know if there is any software that would givve this functionality in windows .
I recently installed an S-ATA HD 300GB in my PC, which uses WIN XP SP2 as its OS. But ever since I installed the S-ATA HD, Windows won't start, either the boot screen freezes or it freezes after the boot screen is over.
About a day ago, my computer suddenly stopped playing sounds. I have the speakers plugged in, and I also have the volume at a level where I would normally hear something.
decided to fix up one of my old computers...I am running an Asus A8n32-SLI deluxe and just my luck they have problems with sp3 install causing the reboot loop. Over the last few hours I have found out the following information:
The loop happens when I have my usb mouse plugged in, doesn't matter which spot and no other usb device causes. Have tried multiple types/brands of mice they all cause the loop. My flash drive also causes the loop but my keyboard does not.
When I reset the CMOS the loop did not occur until I sync'd my computers time, SP3 only
I have 4 usb ports, computer not communicating anything plugged into them BUT the green light on my memory card reader is on.It was all working before a recent thunder and lightning storm.How can I reset them to communicate.
i got nothing but a blue screen when i turned it on and it would shut itself down within 5 minutes, even when plugged in. I figured it was due to a virus, so i wiped the drive and reinstalled windows xp. everything seems to work ok, except for the fact that now neither my internal wireless nor my SD slot seem to work at all. Its like my laptop is rejecting them and it didnt start happening until i reinstalled XP.
i want to instal a sound card (USB) and when i plug it in XP installs drivers on its own i want to use the CD drivers. there was an option "have disk" cant find it
I have Windows XP Sp2 whe i try to chanhe ip in "Local Area Connection" i got following message:" Network Connetion Folder was unable to retrive the list of network Adapters":i checked "Services" .Ok working fine then what 's the problem??

I have a gateway 6520 gz laptop with IE6 and XPHE, I 'm on a network with two computers and use NETWORK MAGIC for the network, when I turn the laptop on it wants to display {the page cannot be displayed} instead of going online! Then NETWORK MAGIC pops-up and says {YOU ARE NOW CONNECTED} then I have to manually turn on IE6 button to go online, almost like the page {the page cannot be displayed} wants to come up first instead of the connection?
i have a problem with my network folder.It seems that I can't see my existing network connections in the folder! I first noticed this when i click on my dial-up connection the connection window won't come up.When i open the network connections folder in the control panel, an error message comes up with this message:The Network Connections Folder was unable to retrieve the lsit of Network adapters on your machine. Please make sure that the Network Connections service is enabled and running.
My network adapter does not appear in Device Manager, until I "Show hidden devices". And then it appears as a "Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC", whereas I actually have a D-Link DFE-538TX 10/100 adapter. Furthermore, I get no icons (at all) in the Network Communications window. So if I want to change any settings of my LAN, for example, I can't, because I can't select the LAN icon or right-click on it. The LAN is working though. The current driver for the Realtek adapter which is listed is a MS driver.
I run two hard drives. C: and f:. F: is my primary and C: is the slave. If I boot from C: I can run msconfig. If I boot from F:, I cannot run msconfig without first removing the cable from the c: HD and rebooting. If I run sysedit while in the f: drive, it shows autoexec.bat and config.sys from the c: drive and win.ini from the f: drive. How can I change the autoexec.bat to run from the f: drive on boot up
I am thinking of gettin this really fast cable/broadband for AOL and its askin me that i need to have the above. i know for a fact i have alot of memory so iam sure thats cool but the 233 HMZ iam confused about, my PC is pentium 4.
can I connect to tv through the optus cable, does it use up too much of the download space and does it clog the hard drive, am new to all this and love the help from this site.
If I was to add a second hard drive on the same cable will I have any proformance loss with my computer?The master is a WD 80gig 8meg buffer 7200rpm and slave is Deskstar 60gig 2meg buffer 7200rpm.
I recently re formated my computer and now I can't get my cable modem to hook up through the ethernet. It only works if its hooked up through the usb cable but if i do that then i cant use my router.
After a power surge last night, I cannot bring up my cable internet. We've tried reinitializing the cable modem, restarted the computer multiple times, and tried everything else that seems logical. When we ran the command prompt c:>ipconfig/renew we got the error message:An internal error occurred: The system cannot find the file specified. Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help. Additional information: Unknown media status code.
