Thauzar Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Since I installed SP2, it happened 2 times now that the LAN icon appears in the tray, telling my that a network cable is unplugged and blablabla. The thing is it's totally false, and the proof is that I am here doing this post. So I'm wondering, is it my network card that starts to do freegames and then comes back ok while windows doesn't know it, or is it windows doing freegames believing that my card is unplugged while i am surfing the web and chatting on msn...

Thauzar Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 Ok guys I found it out, it's just VMWare that's stupid, cause when it's on, it takes over the windows setting for internet connection and when you shut it down, it doesn't set them back to windows, thus windows thinks a cable is unplugged while the internet can continue working perfectly. And that's also why a reboot solved this. Now.. it's VMware programmers job to solve this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
