Hi Sam, I'm a little confused by your post in that you refer to using a wireless network but then refer to the wired connection on the computers. Are you indeed using wired connections to link the computers together via a network switch, wireless router, or something like that? If so, it could be a bad / damaged network cable that's keeping the computer from recognizing that there's a network connection.
Also, if both computers are connected via a wired connection are they both reporting that the network cable is unplugged or just one of them?
Hi, I think i have a similar problem. My ethernet cord is plugged in but my computer does not recognize that it is, resulting in no internet connection and really no work-around. I know the cord is good b/c i tried other computers. I have a Latitude D830 with Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller on Windows Vista. Please help!!!
