hi new89z,
Welcome to the Forums.
The ''Network Cable is Unplugged'' message usually appears if you don't have any ethernet cable attached to the laptop. If you connect via WiFi, you can hide the icon by following this microsoft article.

As for installing softwares, are you having the issue after extracting the files? Check this microsoft article:

  • Network Cable unplugged

    I have BT Total Broadband Anywhere Home Hub 2. I have used it successfully on my desktop pc and wirelessly with my laptop. However I went away for 2 months and was unable to use either (everything was switched off whilst away).  On my return the laptop can't connect at all, I just get two grey monitors with a red X and the information 'A Network Cable is unplugged'. I bought  a netbook when away and am having the same problem with that now.
    On the laptop that worked before, on my Network Connections it is showing as follows:
    Local Area Connection 2
    Network cable unplugged
    Broadcom 440 x 10/100 Integrated Controller
    1394 Connection 2
    Connected
    1394 Net Adapter #2
    I have tried connecting to the Hub with an ethernet cable without success and when I run the Hub Manager on the laptop it just says it can't connect with the hub. When I run the Hub Manager on my desktop it says there is no wireless device detected.
    A check on the laptops device manager hardware shows everything as working properly, but when I try the Wireless WLAN configuration utility in Control Panel it tells me there are currently no wireless adapters available and enabled.
    I am getting desperate as I cannot sit at the desktop for any length of time and need the laptop, please can anyone help?

    Hi, the devices you have mentioned are the 'wired' connections.  On most laptops, there are switched you can press to turn on and off wireless, is it posisble this has been done?
    You can check to see if 'wireless network' appears by selecting the Start Button, then click on Control Panel and open, you should see 'Network' (doing this by memory) and open that up, you will see Wired Lan and Wireless Lan.
    If Wireless Lan is disabled, you can right click on wireless lan and enable it, that should work.

  • OS 4.1 Tethering with windows "network cable unplugged"

    wow, this just happened to me. Tethering was working for me yesterday. After my update to 4.1 (not sure if this has anything to do with it) it no longer works. The tethering network connection is there in my network connections, but it shows as disconnected. I run windows 7 64 bit.
    Just to rule out things, I tried it on my work laptop which runs windows XP.
    I also just tried it out on my girlfriends macbook pro which runs OS X (10.4)
    freaky....

    i uninstalled itunes on my windows 7 PC, restarded and reinstalled it.
    tethering worked ONLY for the first time. after that it's the same problem, network cable is unplugged.

  • Getting a strange error message - network cable unplugged (on a wireless router?)

    I have a Linksysy wireless WRT54G ROUTER that is connected to a Dell PC desktop and a Toshiba laptop. I got everything hooked up just fine and everything worked great for 2 months and then 2 days ago I started getting an error messgae saying that a "network cable was unplugged and the wireless connection was lost." I can no longer get Internet connections or connect to Outlook. Anyone know why this would happen and MORE IMPORTANTLY, how to fix this?? The connection to the Dell still works interestingly and the "link" indicator on the cable modem is blinking on and off. Please help!

    well the first thing that you should do, if you have not done this already is check the network cable on the computer with the issue and make sure that it is snapped in securely. If it is try to connect again. If at this time it still states that a network cable is unplugged, try another cable and see what that does for you. please get back to us and let us know if it still states that the network cable is unpluged.

  • Linksys Network Everywhere Model NH1005 - Network Cable Unplugged / Blinking Lights

    I just replaced a computer on our network.  I connected the network cable to Port 2 on the hub, and it blinks.  I switched ports to make sure it wasn't a bad port, but continue to get the blinking lights.  On the computer, it's telling me the network cable is unplugged.
    Any ideas?

    Make sure you are using a patch cable and not a crossover, the easiest way to tell is to compare the ends of the cable side by side and make sure the colors are in the same order.

  • WRTP54G Network Cable Unplugged Error

    I have a WRTP54G (router with 2 Vonage phone ports).  The phone works just fine.  However, every few minutes the PC displays a "network cable is unplugged" error message and I am unable to access the Internet.  After a few seconds, the error goes away, and everything works fine for a few minutes.  I have changed the network cable, used another computer, and I get the same results.  Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

    I appreciate your response, but how will that help?  I've rebooted all the equipment involved (modem, router, computer) more than once and it hasn't improved things.  The computer continues to cycle between showing the network cable unplugged message and everything working fine.

  • Network Cable Unplugged Status, PC to PLC

    I am working with a PLC connected to the PC via Ethernet.  I would like to receive notification that the cable is unplugged.  Here is the scenario:
    1) Connect to PLC with ConnectToTCPServer (ok).
    2) Send commands via ClientTCPWrite (ok).
    3) Receive status back from PLC. (ok)
    All this works great.
    Now unplug the Ethernet cable.  Go to step 2) and send the command.  CVI sends it and returns a -kTCP_NoError.  The PLC never responds, and the system is frozen.
    Why do I not get an error when using ClientTCPWrite to an open/broken connection?
    Obviously, Windows is aware of the connection, as I instantly get a "Network Cable Unplugged" notice in the taskbar.  Is there an SDK function to do this?
    If you wait long enough, it will trigger the TCP_DISCONNECT in the callback.
    Thanks in advance, David

  • Network Cable Unplugged, even though it is not (this one is fun, I promise!)

    I am plugging my computer into my Linksys router (this computer will not be connecting wirelessly).  Unfortunately my computer believes that the network cable is unplugged.  Allow me to provide some details before we continue!
    Router: Linksys WRT54GL v1.1, with up-to-date firmware
    Ethernet Card: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (with up-to-date drivers)
    Computer OS: Windows 7 64-bit 
    And now for the fun part.  First, I figured that it was a bad ethernet cable, so I tried another, and another still.  The cable does not seem to be the problem.
    Second, I figured that it may well be my ethernet card.  I plugged the ethernet cable from my cable modem directly in to my ethernet card and was instantly rewarded with a connection.  With that, I noted that my ethernet card is not the problem.
    Third, I figured, well, it must be the router.  I tried the four ports on the back of the router to see if one was bad.  None of them worked.  The router does not show any lights for ports 1, 2, 3, or 4, no matter where I plug it in. Progress!  Certainly it is the router, right?  To make certain, I ran an ethernet cord from the router to a laptop and was rewarded once again with a connection.  So the router is not the problem.
    After doing some reading both here and abroad, I reduced my "Speed & Duplex" to 10 Mbps Half Duplex.  That did not solve the problem.
    Any and all help would be immensely appreciated, as I am rather frustrated.  Please let me know if I can provide any more information for you.  Thanks in advance for your help! 

    The problem with eletronics is that a device doesn't have to be dead but can be somewhat "off specifications" where it works with some devices and not with some others depending on how much "off spec" the other device accepts.
    You could try to connect the laptop and desktop directly to each other with a ethernet cross-cable to see how they work together. Otherwise, you should try to replace either the router or the ethernet card to see if it makes the difference.

  • A network cable is NOT unplugged, need help

    So my internet appears to be working fine but yesterday I was playing a game (world of warcraft) and my latency jumped from the normal 200ms to about 800ms. It appears to be jumping back and forth 200 to 800 but I can't tell for sure.
    I closed the game and checked my wireless signal, its 100%. Then I noticed an icon that said "A network cable is unplugged", im pretty sure that wasn't there before. So I checked my cables, nothing is unplugged or plugged in the wrong place. When you click it it says my LAN is disconnected and my Wireless LAN is connected. I don't know if thats important cause my internet is working fine its just when I need steady connection like games.
    So that's the story, heres the 3 explanations I can think of, just tell me which one you think is right or if you know another possible problem.
    1. I noticed the ethernet light on my modem (goes from modem to wireless router) was blinking, I don't know if its suppose to blink but the phone and power light are solid. So I took the ethernet that goes from router to computer and switched it with the "broken" one. The light stayed solid with the new cable. But the weird thing is the light that I put the "broken" cable in was staying solid too.
    Maybe I should buy a new ethernet cable for the one I think is broken? I don't know how it would just magically stop working one day though.
    2. My phone line that goes from wall to modem runs across a doorway. We trip on it often. Maybe the insides are all torn apart. But wouldn't the phone light be blinking instead of that ethernet light?
    3. I bought an iphone the other week and I was having troubles getting the wifi to work at home. I fiddled with some network settings on my computer but im almost positive I set them all back to normal when I figured out I was just using the wrong password. In the chance I didn't get the settings back exactly I don't think it would say "network cable unplugged". And I believe I've used my internet a few days after all this happened.

    same problem here for the most part. WoW recently dc lag issues but sometimes im still connected to the web and sometimes not. im currently set to Media Options: Full Duplex Media Subtype: 100baseTX. Should i try going Half Duplex and 10baseTX? Im currently using etherent and NOT wireless. Doesnt make a difference tho.

  • Equium M50 will not recognise the LAN port - error: Network Cable unplugged

    I own a Toshiba Equium M50 and have problems with the Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller.
    I used to connect via an 'ADDON' Modem/ADSL Switch and had no problems. I then replaced the ADDON with a 'NETGEAR' DG834G ADSL Modem/Router to gain the wireless port, and since then my machine will not recognise the LAN port. <error: Network Cable unplugged>.
    I know that the cables are OK as I used them with other laptops and had no trouble. I can also plug in a PCI card to connect without any problems. It looks to me as if the Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller has a problem with the netgear Modem/Router.
    Anyone out there with a similar experience and some advice/suggestions?
    PLEASE

    Hi
    For me it doesnt show like a LAN card problem but your router is a problem.
    Check the device manager if the LAN card was properly recognized. If there are no yellow exclamation marks so everything is ok!
    You can try to delete the LAN card from the device manager and after new reboot install the LAN driver again.
    The issue has stared after installing or connecting the new Netgear modem router.
    Therefore I would recommend to checking firstly the settings or to update the firmware on this router.

  • Connecting Windows XP to Airport Error: "Network Cable Unplugged"

    Situation: Having bought a new computer I gave my old Airport Extreme (a model I bought about 4-5 years ago; one of the white pointy dome ones) to a friend, and attempted to set up their network. My goal was to connect the apple computers (one 2.16GHz iMac and a titanium macbook) to a wireless connection, and then connect their old wireless-less PC with WIndows XP to the airport with an ethernet cable.
    Problem: The wireless network works fine for the Macs, but when I connect the Airport to the PC with the ethernet cable it says "Network Cable Unplugged", and doesn't connect to the internet. I have swapped the cables, so I know that they're fine, and before I attempted all this the computer was corrected straight to the modem through the same port and worked fine, so it's not the port, either.
    Also, I don't think it's the ethernet port on the airport, as I was using it last week with an iMac and it was working fine. But on this I'm not entirely sure. Right now I have the cable from the modem going to the Airport port with the broken-dot circle, and the cable to the pc coming out of the (only other) ethernet port (with the sign <->). If I swap the ports used (with the modem going into the <-> port) the PC works, but the wireless drops out. So that's no good.
    The PC is using Windows XP, which is quite foreign to me, so I don't know the tricks. I haven't found any other threads on here with a similar problem, so if anyone could give me some advice as to how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated!

    By a "128 bit password," I assume that you mean that you have the AirPort Express (AX) set with WEP encryption...correct? ...and that the Mac is connecting to the Internet without any problems...correct?
    If you turn off encryption, can the PC access the Internet thru the AX?

  • Toshiba laptop (C55-B5302) has "network cable unplugged" error message repeatedly. Why?

    I recent purchased Toshiba Laptop running Windows 8.1 at local Best buy.  The models number is C55-B5302.
    When connected via ethernet cable, I keep seeing an error message in network adapter settings saying "network cable unplugged".
    However, this "unplugged" message switches back and forth repeadedly from "connected" when I am not doing anything to the cable.
    My internet is very sporadic because of this.  I replaced the cable but still same error.
    Any idea on how I can resolve the issue?
    Please help.  Thanks.
