Ethernet Connection Problem
I have a Dell Inspiron 600m running XP Professional. Intermittently my internet connection disappears. The ethernet connection disappears from my network properties, the light to the ethernet connection disappears and it's like there's nothing connected at all. Sometimes the I have connectivity for awhile before it disappears but then suddenly I get a massive computer slowdown and then the connection goes out. I've seen other users mention this problem but have not seen solutions.
Thanks

Have you checked the network cable and made sure that it is not coming in loose the the RJ45 jack? Have you tried a different network cable?

Is it the connector itself? i.e. if you wiggle the cable in the socket on the computer can you reproduce the problem - making in the link light on the computer go on and off?

Have you installed the most recent driver for your network adaptors?

It could be a problem with the network adapter itself or the connector on the motherboard. In either case, it would require a motherboard replacement. If your computer is still under warranty, you need to call Dell Tech Support and get the process started.
