"Network cable unplugged" for iPhone 5 USB Tethering

I've upgraded to Windows 8 64-bit and want to use the iPhone 5 as my main wireless USB dongle and I've had this problem since Windows 7 where, no matter what I do, the Apple Mobile Device Ethernet comes up as "Network cable unplugged".
I've unplugged and plugged it back in, reinstalled iTunes, reset the network settings on the phone, made sure everythings up to date and reset the service in Windows to no avail.
Any suggestions on this one?

FIxed my problem!

Startup gets 'Network cable unplugged' on mini-PCI wireless card

I recently installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless router and now have an intermittent problem connecting my Tecra 9100 to it. If the 9100 has been shutdown for a while (like overnight), when I restart I always get 'Network cable unplugged' for the wireless connection. Rebooting a number of times (anything from 3 upwards) I eventually get connected to the router and all then works fine for hours. Even a quick restart at this point (i.e. once the wireless card has connected) does not cause a problem but as soon as I leave the machine shutdown for a length of time it fails again at reboot.
There are no errors in the Event log.
I am using the built in mini-PCI wireless card and have already upgraded to the latest driver.
Any ideas gratefully recieved, at the moment each morning is a 20-30 minute frustration of rebooting trying to get my connection working.
(Running Win2K Professional)

Checking other boards for help (Netgear etc.) it seems that the 'Network cable unplugged' is a common message when wireless connectivity is failing. However, to prove the point, I have disabled the other LAN card (for which I was also getting 'network cable unplugged' but as expected since it was). I still get the same issue with the wireless card, although now the reboots are slightly more predictable - it normally seems to succeed on the third reboot. I guess disabling the other card has changed the startup timing slightly and in that way made things slightly better.
Again, any other suggestions gratefully received. As this seems to be a timing issue at startup, I am suspicious that one of the other things that runs at that time is causing the problem.

More info : I have found that this is time related rather than related to the number of reboots. It always fails on the first reboot after being shut down for a period of time. At this point, however long I wait the connection never comes up. However, if I wait a few minutes and then reboot, the second reboot will always successfully establish the connection.
On this basis, the problem has become slightly less annoying as I have a workaround - boot once, wait a few minutes and reboot. That being said, any information on how I can isolate this further (e.g. tracing what is running at startup) would be gratefully recieved.

Iphone 5 Apple Mobile Device Ethernet comes up as "Network cable unplugged".

Yes My personal hot spot is on in cellular data on and i have a data plan that allow tethering. that problem is start 4 days before. My iphone is do this job very well few days before.

Does apple have a fix for loss of iphone usb tethering following itunes upgrade?

Has apple or someone produced a software patch to fix the loss of iPhone usb tethering following itunes software upgrade?

1. Now about looking at the detailed usage summary online, you can not go by it to see the exalt date/time stamp of the data usage. Because, by design the cell towers will collect and store certain data usage for up to a six-hours period. After the six-hour period, then the cell towers will release the stored data usage to the company's servers. And at that time, the collected data usage will be recorded on your detailed usage summary online. For a long time, I brainwork that I had caught Verizon with their hand in the cookie jar for say. Because I knew that we were not using data usage at these odd-ball hours of the night or day. Yet, now I have learn that this is just not the case.

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.

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?

Satellite M100-165: message Network Cable Unplugged appears

My NEW notebook TOSHIBA M100-165 /model PSMA1E/ with network adapter Intel 10/100 VM Network Adapter have big problem when connected to my office network!!!
So many collisions I can see on my 3COM HUB /model TP800/. But this HUB is perfectly working with other computers in my office /another 5 computers works perfect on this HUB!
When I tried to connect my notebook directly to switch on the floor /model of switch is CISCO Catalyst 3500 series XL/ the message "Network Cable Unplugged" appears.
Only for testing I tried another notebook TOSHIBA in our network but with network adapter Intel 10/100 VE Network Adapter. And this notebook works perfectly.
I hope You can solve my problem as soon as You can!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards!
Ivo Vachkov

Hi
I hope that your unit has factory settings and the LAN card is installed and listed properly in device manager. Please check as first if the card is also enabled and configured properly.
Try also to talk with network administrator in your company. He can check all settings and be sure that everything is ok.

E4200 / Windows 7 Ultimate - Network cable unplugged

Yesterday two of four computers (both windows 7) stopped connecting to the Linksys E4200 router after several months of continued connectivity for one and the other for about 30 days. Within the Network Connections window the Local Area Connection says "Network Cable Unplugged".
I am using E4200 Firmware version 1.0.0.1. - Firmware version yesterday when problem occurred was 1.0.0.0, updated based on Linksys Forum suggestions. I continued the updating to version 1.0.0.2, problem remains. I have since down graded firmware back to 1.0.0.1 based on the majority of the posts this version seems to be the most promising.
I have powered down, removed mother board battery (pain in the ### to get to) reset bios and still now change in Local Area Connection.
When I restart the computers I do notice an attempt by the router to connect to the PC but it does not go any further than that.
I have switched out the cables and tested the old ones on cable testers, everything is fine.
I have also tried the DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle fix outlined by "smillio" and it has not worked for me.
Both computers are experiencing the same exact problem - Both Windows 7.
I have three other devices connected to the E4200 router which have not experienced any connectivity issues, HP wireless printer (connected wirelessly), XP computer using cat5 and driod phone connected through wireless connection.
My best guess at this point is that the router went to renew the leased connections and both Window 7 machines no longer connect.
Please help, going into another day of limited work productivity.

Try to update the newest drivers of the LAN card installed... For updating the drivers you can follow the procedure:
# Click on Start --> All programs --> Accessories --> Command Prompt….Run and in the run box type "devmgmt.msc" and click Ok...
# Device manager window will appear and in that check for the LAN adapter.. Right-click Adapter that you want to update and click Update Driver Software…
# A window will appear asking “How do you want to search for the driver software?".. Click “Search Automatic"...
# Then click next to update...
Change the Link Speed and Duplex settings to use "100 Mbps Full Duplex" or "10 Mbps Full Duplex" instead of Auto Detect.
You can follow the procedure for Reducing the Speed of the LAN Cards
On the Windows “Start” button, select "Control Panel”
In “Control Panel”, select “Network and Sharing Center” then click on change Adapter Settings..
Right-click on the “Local Area Connection” and select “Properties” from the bottom of the menu:
This will bring up the “Local Area Connection Properties” window. Select “Configure”
At the next window, select the “Advanced” tab,

“10 Mb, Half Duplex”, “100 Mb, Full Duplex”, or "Auto Detect".

BEFW11S4 ver.3 - NETWORK CABLE UNPLUGGED

My father-in-law gave me a BEFW11S4 ver.3 router and said that it was working fine. I downloaded the user guide from Linksys and follwed the instructions to hook it up through my DSL modem but it keeps saying "NETWORK CABLE UNPLUGGED". I'm trying to hook up my main computer directly and my second comptuer will be wireless.
I have tried:
-different ethernet cable
-loopback test (seems to be working)

Below is the router set-up
1. open your Internet Explorer
2. type - 192.168.1.1 in to the address bar
3. A Linksys sign in box will open: user name: leave it blank
Password: admin
4. At the set up tab drop down the first box you see and choose: PPPoE
5. once that is done a box asking for a: User Name and Password will appear, this is were you will enter in the info from your DSL provider.
6. go to the bottom of the page and click on :save settings
7. Go to the status tab and if the Connect button is highlighted, click it. If you are unable to connect you will need to configure the DSL modem for Bridge Mode. This will vary in set-up as each DSL providers set-up screens will vary.
8. Close out of IE.
Below is the Modem set-up for the westell ( usually DSL modems get set up in Bridge Mode) Click the link below

Facebook: EA4500 - Network Cable Unplugged

I have a EA4500 and I'm having a really weird problem. When ever I connect a my router to my PC via Ethernet I get an error of "Network Cable Unplugged". The lights on the back don't even come on but for a slip second when I connect it. But I can also connect my network enabled printer into the same Ethernet ports and it works without a hitch. I have tried switching cables. All I have is Cat6 cables available. But the cable that is connect to my printer its a Cat5e... Is it possible that the router doesn't use Cat6? I mean that would be really odd.. Any help?

There are just few differences in using Cat5e and Cat6 cable. Both are gigabit cables which you can use for you to have gigabit connection on your network. The EA4500 is a gigabit router so the CAT6 cable should work. The network card of your computer, is it a gigabit card? Have you tried using the CAt5e cable to connect from your computer to the router? How about using the Cat6 cable from your printer to the router?

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.

Try the following tips to resolve your problem:
Disable the Ethernet network adapter if you are not using it. This applies, for example, when running a WiFi home network with computers that have built-in Ethernet adapters. To disable the adapter, double-click the small Network Cable Unplugged error window and choose the Disable option.
Check both ends of the Ethernet cable connected to the adapter to ensure they are not loose.
Replace the Ethernet cable with a different one to verify the cable is not damaged.
Update the network adapter driver software from the manufacturer's Web site.
Change the Link Speed and Duplex settings (using Device Manager) to use "100 Mbps Full Duplex" or "10 Mbps Full Duplex" instead of Auto Detect.
Replace the Ethernet network adapter
Good Luck,
