I have a home network. Three computers that run through a router. two desktops and a laptop. The laptop has xp and an integrated network card. I ran the cable myself and put the ends on myself. I believe they were on good and I have been able to surf the web and share files fine. Just a few minutes ago all of a sudden I get a little icon on the bottom of my screen that says network connection unplugged. Well I double checked the cable and it was plugged in. I took the computer to the router where I have a shorter store bought cable plugged in and connected it to my laptop and I am connected. I moved the cables around to different locations and nothing will work. I clipped the end off my laptop and put on a new one and it wont work. So its not the cable and its not the router. How could a perfectly fine connection all of a sudden not work. This problem has driven me insane. Normally I am very patient. When I bring the computer in my bedroom and plug it in it connets right away. In the living room where I ran the cord nothing now and yet I have had a good fast connection in their for a couple of weeks. Please help. I was looking forward to using my laptop tommorow. It doesn't make sense that it would be the network cable because it was just fine a little while ago and its not the computer because I am typing on it right now
