network cable unplugged???
My network card, Intel pro 10/100 , tells me that the network cable is unplugged. How can this be, it is internal? How do I fix it?
Problem #2 When I click on Network Connections I get a screen that says "LAN or High Speed Internet" NOT Wireless Network Connection
Problem #3 When I click on Change settings of this connection in the Network Tasks box, I get a "Local Area Connection Properties" wiinndow instead of the Wireless Network Connection Properties window. This window does not have a Wireless Networks tab. It has the following tabs General, Authentication, and Advanced. How do I find the Wireless Network Connection window?
Thanks for the help.

jtillson,
All your questions pertain to a wireless network adapter and it does not sound like there is one in your system, at least none that has been detected by the operating system. The Local Area Connection is your wired ethernet connection. If you don't have an ethernet cable connected to it you will receive the "Network cable unplugged" message. Right click on the Local Area Connection icon and select "disable." The error and icon will be removed. If the operating system thought you had a wireless network adapter it would appear in the Local and High Speed Internet folder as a "Wireless Network Connection."
Open Device Manager and expand the Network Adapters entry to see if a wireless network adapter is installed in the system. If none appears you should consult your order paperwork to make sure a wireless network adapter was included in the configuration of your system.
