Hi:
When I un-plug ethernet cable from the PC with Vista and
plug-into the PC with XP, it says, .... Unplug Cable, although
the Cable is firmly plugged into the Ethernet Port.

One thing I noticed is that green/orange light did not light-up, hence
my LAN-connection is NOT working?

Any help on this regard would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Un-plugging and re-plugging can "break" cables. How long have you
being do this?

What or to where, is ether "other" end of the cable connected to/ It
should be a routerm switch or hub.

Thanks for the response.

The PC with XP is fairly new and have been trying to establish
Internet Connection since two days ago, last Saturday.

In regard to 'other end' is hooked up modem/router combo that
my ISP, Comcast has been providing.

As to 'break' Ehternet Cable, ... it works, when I re-hooked with
the PC with Vista, then in my guess, ... it's my ISP that has limited
connections, 5(five) connections allowed.

My most concern is that, ... How to abandon connection with the PC
with Vista in order to establish a connection onto the PC with XP?

Thanks,

Thanks for the response along with the web-site.

When I looked at Device Manger, there is 'yellow' question
mark on the device, then I uninstalled it.

The problem seems to me that there are 5(five) connections limited
in my ISP, Comcast. Then, first, I need to abandon a connection on
the PC with Vista and afterwards, I have to establish Internet Connection to
the PC with XP.

Is there any good web-site for this issue to resolve?

Thanks,
