Hi

I'm using SP2 Media Centre Edition.

For about half an hour after I switch on I get a bubble message 'Local
Area Network cable unplugged', from the Task Bar right hand end. That is
called the Quick Launch Toolbar isn't it?

I don't have a network. I'm just connecting my computer to a router that
is used for my Broadbans connection.

I checked the connection, it seems OK, & the internet is fully working
great (where I live has the Telephone server has just been upgrade to
8mb - Ah! the joy).

Anyway, does anyone have a clue how to stop this annoyance from happening?

Cheers
Dave F.

If you plug a network cable into your computer and that network cable
connects to your router which connects to the Internet - you have a network.

If you do not plug anything into your network port, simply disable the
device.

Otherwise - check for the latest driver from the actual network adapter
manufacturer's web page.

I have a network cable (cat 5 I think) in that port going to the router
& a cable coming out of the router to the telephone line.

In Network Connections, if I disconnect the Internet gateway connection.
the LAN appears to stay connected.

Any ideas?

in the Network Connections window it says it'd an Intel 10/1000 PL
I need to take the back off the machine to get the serial code,
according to the Intel web site. So I'll have to do that later.

It's called the notification area.
