I have been experiencing a problem where I get a balloon pop up saying
"a network cable has become unplugged". I have DSL using SBC's
services. I have a 2Wire modem/router that is connected to the Gigabit
LAN on my motherboard with an ethernet cable. I contacted SBC's tech
support and did some trouble shooting such as replacing the cable,
checking settings, etc. The problem is not always happening, so
sometimes I can connect to the internet and other times not.
I went into the network adapter's properties (Intel 1000 Pro, I
believe) and it gave me the option instead of Auto negotiation, to
change speed to 100/Full duplex or 100/Half duplex. I changed from
Auto to 100/Full Duplex, and so far, it seems to have cured the
problem, but I only tested for one day. Anyway, my question is what is
the difference between Half Duplex and Full Duplex?
thanks very much.
