I have 2 desktops and a laptop. Cable modem, router and a wireless router.
The internet on my main desktop stopped working on Sunday. First, it said "little or no connection". Now, it's telling me that I have a "network cable unplugged." I have checked, and everything is plugged in. Troubleshooting with ISP (cable co.) has not resolved. They thought it could be a hardware or software related issue specific to that p.c.
Any advice before I hire someone to come out? Thanks so much in advance!

As a network tech, I've found that 60% of all networking issues that happen are a result of cable faults,. Either the connection or cable itself is bad, If I were you I'd test a cable between two sources and see that it works, then swap it with the suspect cable, if it works then you know what the problem is, if not, it may be a software issue. keep me posted and I'll be glad to help if this doesnt do it

If you checked the connection on the computer side and it is good, try checking the connection into the router. Or all routers as it sounds you have more than one. Just try to power cycle them all. Good luck.
