Wondering if someone can help.
My dad's computer seems to have a stange problem occuring.
He basically has a computer that uses a USB modem to connect to Talk Talk. All fine and no problems. The other day he decided in his wisdom that he would also try and install the software and usb modem on his new laptop. He couldn't get it to work and thus went to just plug everything back into his desktop pc. However, all of a sudden when you boot windows, it comes up with "local area network cable is not plugged in" down in the bottom right corner.
I have tried reinstalling the Broadcom 440X 10/100 drivers, nothing, i have tried uninstalling all the related software for talk talk and then reinstalling etc. All still have the same error message and do not allow him to connect to the internet.
The modem is connected via USB. Also tried changing the cables (USB and telephone line) and also the filters etc but all seems in vain.
He has changed no settings etc.
Any ideas?
(apart from telling him to get a wireless router next time!!!
