Local Area Connection - a network cable unplugged!

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

If your motherboard has an integrated Network card that is not being used,
it will show this.. go to START - SETTINGS - select NETWORK CONNECTIONS..
now select PROPERTIES and uncheck the 'show icon in notification area when
connected'..

Good luck

FWIW: That refers to a network not a dial up. So the 1st question for a correct
answer is, are you on dial up or a network ?

Dial up cure = Start->right click 'my computer'->Hardware tab->device
manager->network adapters.

Look down and see if anything is red x'ed out.
in my case it's a 3com gigabit driver.

then start->control panel->network connections->
Using my 3com gigabit thing above as an example, the driver has installed
itself for future use also here. But it also needs to be disabled here.
under LAN or High speed Internet the device name for 'local area connection2' =
3com gigabit.
select that connection right click and disable.
might need a reboot. it's been ages since I did this.

If you're not on dial up, use another solution. I'd guess you're missing a
driver if not on dial up.

Jude..

If you have two 'local area connections' and one of them indicates
'disconnected', try deleting the 'disconnected' connection..

Have you just tried to connect two PC's together? Which cable did you
use? Straight or corssover? You need a crossover cable for 2 PC's or
this error will occur.
The straight is for router/switch to computer whereas the crossover is
for computer to computer.
