Possible Solution For Pop-up Message: Local Area Connection A network

[nnicko]

Hi everyone! For the last several weeks I’ve been getting the annoying pop-up "Local Area Connection A network cable is unplugged" on the right side of my task bar. I mean it was constantly popping up and then going away. I searched the web for answers and made several calls to Verizon. I use their MSN Premium browser. It’s their version of IE. We did all sorts of things but none of them helped. Then I found Microsoft Article ID : 910389 at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910389 .

I followed their instructions for changing the value that was set for the Media Type property on the network adapter. I tried 100Mbps Full Duplex but that didn’t work for me. When I changed it to 10Mbps Full Duplex – Bingo! No more annoying pop-ups! I don’t know which setting will work for you (if any) but it worked for me and it’s worth giving it a try (unless of course, you like constant pop-ups on your screen).

I wanted to make this a sticky but I don’t know how.

You're using MSN Explorer? You must be one of the few users on the planet still using that out-dated, built-in with Windows trash. Use Opera or Firefox.

Glad to see you figured it out. I believe only mods and above can make stickies.
