I recently upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. Now I get an intermitant Network cable unplugged message. I have a cable modem and a Davicom 9101/A network card. I have unplugged and replugged the network cable. I have reinstalled the Network card drivers. I have loaded all the latest Windows updates. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Correction Network card is Davicom 9102/A Sorry for the confusion.

Did you use the latest 2000 drivers, or are you using the installtion disk that came with the card? I found the 2000 drivers at http://www.driverguide.com/ for that card.

Hi, Here is an idea. Stop the "WINS Client" - Service Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Wins Client > "Stop" Then Right Click Switch to Manual. I have a DSL carrier that if I have the WINS CLient running (Which XP loads by default) it will cause the Network Cable Unplugged error to flash in and out. This should work like a miracle cure. Stop the service and it all works. Start the service and it starts to error. Good luck. Jay

I'm having the same problem. I get Network Cable Unplugged. I've restored the system using the computer manufacturers recovery CDs. I am using a cable modem with a RealTech 8139 Fast Ethernet NIC. I've tried using different Cat5 cables, disabling the network connection, uninstalling and reinstalling the network card -- all with no success. I've seen a couple of message regarding stopping the WINS Client Service but I can't find that in my control panel. I have a Compaq Presario 6370us desktop computer. Any help is appreciated.
