If you are using a USB connection to your Broadband, then you've
likely got at least one or two unused Network adapters. Most all
recent PCs have a NIC (Network Interface Device). Also, some
new PCs also have a Firewire based NIC. If you are not networked
to other PCs or a Router then the NIC/LAC (Local Area Connections)
will post that message about a cable being unplugged. Each NIC will
have an associated LAC. This is why you see LAC #2, LAC #3...
The easiest way to turn this off, is simply go to Device Manager.
Expand the Network Adapters category. Locate all the different
physical devices, such as "Intel Pro 100/VE Network Connection"
Right Click the device entry & from the context menu, Left Click
the Disable option. Once the NIC is disabled, it will also disable
it's associated LAC and the System Tray icon will be go away.
