why does my computer keep saying local area connection unplugged...?

Question

My computer is online dsl all the time, andkeeps getting small white window pop-up at taskbar saying, "local area connection unplugged" buy why, how, and can I prevent this from happening...?

Answer 1

I had to ask about that when I got my first wireless computer.
They told me, "Because your computer is unplugged." If you have a wireless on a network that is wired/wireless, that wireless one will have that message. It's nothing to worry about.

Answer 2

Shut down your computer, unplug its network connection. Wait 5 minutes. Plug back into the network and start your computer. It should work fine.

Answer 3

If you are using a router with wireless capability, another household can steal and hog the signal, even if you are connected via cable.

This used to annoy me to no end. Good thing I couldn't tell which neighbor it was that was stealing the signal. I would've been red-faced with anger and at their doorstep in a jiffy.

Answer 4

You're getting that because you're not connected to another home computer.
You can hide that.

Right click on startup bar.
Go to Properties.
Go to Customize.
Scroll to Local Area Connection, click on the arrow next to hit, choose Always Hide.
Click on Apply, then Ok.
That should stop it from popping up all the time.

If that doesn't help (which it should), contact your ISP & have them walk you though another route.

Answer 5

that's because you have Dsl and you are not using the phone line its OK

Answer 6

may be your n/w wire is not plugged into the socket backside of your c.p.u.
or it is loosely connected through your port or the port of your router

Answer 7

I had a similar problem that was being caused by my 2.4GHz cordless phone.

Answer 8
