Q: Here is the situation completely stipifies me.
important info: Windows XP and Soyo kt333 Dragon Ultra w / onboard lan
2 days ago, I finished building my new computer. I was at my house and let it run on DSL (which automatically puts everything . plug and play) 0.
Today I brought the computer at school (home permanently) and connected to the computer and I get “network cable is unplugged” ! My network here is “plug and play and”
Here is why Im completely baffled. The original computer was replaced by the new school today. I use the same cable. On the old computer, I was able to automatically connect the cable was fine and good. On the new comp (which works fine the day before at the other house) said that the cable is not plugged in. . and unless Im totally blind, it is connected (yes, on both ends). I even tried 2 different cables and no luck. I have checked all BIOS settings and even formatted / installed and still same problem. I took the NIC from the original computer and added to the new comp with onboard lan and it works fine! WTF?! Frigg
Any be an idea? . Each “hey loser, just do xxxx” solutions?

Re:guy *L* you nut
ok…problem miraculously fixed..no it wasn't registering the nic. ..and mind you, the solution is just as perplexing as the problem=)
I took out the pci lan card and NOW the MB recognizes the cable. The catch is, i had this problem before installing a lan card–the card was just to get on line to solve the problem on the MB
I just don't know…and frankly don't care as long as it works=)
thanks for the efforts

Re:Have you registered the ethernet address fo your nic with the schools DHCP system. Most cable and DSL services use the modem as the identifier on the network. If your on a school's network, you will most likely have to register the nic.
Edit: Oh forgot.. Hey moron register the friggin nic.. just kidding..

Re:Will: Home=DSL, School=ethernet, but both are DHCP for plug and play setup
guy:
Original computer connects and works fine.
-yes
New computer doesn't using onboard lan.
-yes and no. It worked perfectly at home, but at school it doesn't
Both are connecting to same port. So we can rule out this as being the issue.
correct…same port, same cable
We can also rule out the cable because you tried more than one and im sure you tried the cable that works fine with the original computer.
yup
You installed the NIC from original computer into the new computer and it works fine.
yup
That leads to only one conclusion. There is a problem with the new computer Onboard LAN.
but what? it worked perfectly fine the other day and now it doesn't….=(
Probably a realtek chipset.. probably doesn't even show an LED light where the cable plugs into it.
Uninstall it from device manager and restart computer.. see if that helps.
–i have 2 leds..one green and one orange…both are solid when plugged in.
–did that and no luck
thanks anyways guys!

Re:Are they for the same type of network? Is your network at home the same type at school?
