Description: Donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t take this message literally †“ there are many causes besides not having a cable physically plugged into the network card. The message really means that the network card doesnââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t detect a live link to another device on the other end of the cable.
Possible Solutions:
Download and install the latest network card driver program.
Check the cabling †“ a bad cable will prevent link detection. Substitute a cable thatâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s known to be good.
Check the link lights on the device on the other end of the cable, whether itââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s a hub, switch, router, or a NIC in another computer. It should show a live link to the NIC. If it doesnââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t, try a different port.
Auto-detecting speed and duplex mode can be unreliable. Set them manually. Most routers and switches use 100Mb, full duplex. Hubs can only use half duplex.
