LAN A network Cable is unplugged

Does anyone know what the above message means in my system tray. I'm on NTL broadband and Windows XP and everthing's working fine.
thanks

it means what it says on the tin.


you've got a network card in there with nothing plugged into it.

Nothing to worry about, I have the same message. If you are connected to NTL via USB rather than a LAN port, you probably do not have a cable plugged into your LAN port. :doh:

On this forum it says:-

"Check the "advanced properties" for the network card and make sure that use power management" (ie:sleep type mode) is not enabled on the NIC. Typically, when a NIC uses the "sleep mode"...if the NIC goes to "sleep"...so does your netwoek connection(s)".

Thanks Fran, but where do I find that?

Tight click on the 'Twin-tellys' icon in the Sys Tray that has the little red cross and the network unplugged message.

From the right-click select Status -> Properties. At the bottom of the Properties pane uncheck "Show icon in notification area when connected" and uncheck "Notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity"

:cool:

Are you by any chance using Spybot Teatimer install? I've seen this message come up on the boys machine even when everything (network/internet/everything) is working fine. I marked this down as a bug with his version of Spybot rather than a system problem.

After I upgraded his version of Spybot, the messages stopped.

Just a thought................

rather than remove it just right click and disable it, unless that's what ian meant.
