If you are using a dialup, then the "Unplugged" is most likely referring to
an "On Board" LAN, which is not being used, but is still enabled in the
BIOS. When booting, enter BIOS (usually by pressing delete, but mfgrs
vary), and go to "Integrated Perif", and Disable LAN which is not being
used. Hope this helps. As far as being slower, this would not have
anything to do with that.
