Local Area Connection problem. Helppppppppppppppp!!!?

Question

I'm connected and have full access to the internet; but every other minute I keep on getting a message in the status bar that says: "Local Area Connection - A Network Cable Is Unplugged". I called up the phone company, and they said the dsl connection & the modem are good. They said I have either a bad network card or bad network cables......Have any ideas? Should I buy new network cables? The ones that I am using are only about a year old.

Answer 1

It could be the outlet of your network card - where you plug in the cable - is faulty. You could of course borrower a network cable from a friend to check first if it's the cable that's the problem, but I doubt it.

Answer 2

YES I guess you better check the cables ( always are the reasons for such problems)
