I have winXP and OE6 with AVG Plugin. When I press Alt+S or send
button to send mail, the message content gets wiped out if I am using
AVG plugin.
What is wrong and how can I fix it?

What the hell has that got to do with connecting two computers by a LAN
cable, as in your subject line?
 
Why do you insist on using alt+S...can't you just hit the "send button" like everyone else does?

Sorry. In fact it is as below:

I have three different computer say A, B and C and all of them have
winXP.

I am attempting to connect only two computers at a time.

I am able to connect to A to B and A to C by a LAN cable sucessfully.

However when I connect B to C, the connection shows that LAN cable is
unplugged.

What is wrong and where? How do I fix it?
 
If you are not using a crossover LAN cable then I suspect
that the card in computer A autosenses the cable and
adjusts accordingly, whilst those in B & C don't, in
which case a crossover cable will solve you problem.
 
Fwiw, you can't autosense between a patch and a crossover.

I am not aware of any network cards that can cope with being connected by
either a patch OR a crossover and adjust accordingly.

Thus, we must assume that a crossover cable is already being used.

In which case, I can only think that B and C both have their link speeds
manually set to different things.

So, check that all the lan cards have their speeds set to "auto sense" or,
manually set them all to 100Mb/Full Duplex and be done with it.
