Fökai 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2005 Well, this will be the last of my current computer, a HP 522C which has given me so many problems over the past two years. Upgrading to a computer that has the capability to handle three different applications will be a plus. Anyway, whenever I plug in my CAT5 cable, the PC doesn't recognize that the cable is connected. The tiny light near the "ethernet" plug doesn't begin blinking, so I don't know where the problem lies. At the "Network Connections" option, it still says "Network Cable Unplugged". What should I do? Any help is appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After that...you may have to uninstall/re-install the drivers for the ethernet card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
