I've read a number of posts about this notification message, but none have
quite hit my situation.
I have a desktop PC and DLS internet connection. I also have a wireless
router (D-Link DI-524) and a notebook that has wireless capability. All the
connections are working fine (i.e., no problem with internet access on
either the desktop or notebook, internet connection is unbroken, etc.) Both
computers are Windows XP Home Edition, SP-2.
I've discovered that when I turn off the notebook I start getting the
notification "Local Area Connection: A Network Cable is Unplugged". Then
within a second I get the message "Local Area Connection is Now Connected".
This happens randomly, sometimes every few seconds, sometimes not for a few
minutes or longer. As long as I leave the notebook on the message doesn't
appear.
I've tried every option I can find to turn off this notification, but
nothing works. I've unchecked the "Notify Me When This Connection has
limited or no connectivity box", I've modified the setting in services, I've
changed the power management option for the ethernet card . . . I'm stumped.
It's really just an annoyance, not a performance issue, but I really don't
need to be told by my desktop that my notebook is off every few seconds.
Any other way to approach this problem?
