Re: "Network Cable Unplugged" error (FR114P)

Hello, Russ,

I highly appreciate all your help/suggestion and have not at all any
intention to argue with anyone.
I have tried both straight through cables and cross over cables, which I
believe of good quality, as I read as "Enhanced CAT .5 UTP 350MHz.".
The only thing I haven't done is updating the driver of the NIC because the
OS reports that the driver works properly.
I don't understand the point to updating the driver when the connection has
not yet established (none of the green or orange light is on of the RJ45).
Hopefully, my reply will not be interpreted as a offensive "argue" and I do
realize the issue is not a simple/easy one.
If you have any further advice, you are more than welcome. Thanks in
anticipation.

George
