The computer in question is connected with ethernet cable to the router. My laptop is connected wirelessly. The laptop works fine and gets online with no problems,but the desktop keeps getting the net cable unplugged message when I try to go to the internet. the message comes on intermittently with "connection established at 100mbs" I have tried everything I can think of, new cable, changed plug, new firmware for router, scanned for virus(none found), I ran adaware6 to see if spyware is responsible, no change.I have cold booted the system after having it off for one hour(someone's suggestion).Ethernet card is incorporated on the motherboard.
