Hi,
I wasn't keen on networking in XP and i had NOT any kind of problem
under Windows 2000 with same hardware but i decided to upgrade XP SP2
Pro.

My ethernet adapter is Surecom EP-320X-S and i've updated driver to
2.74 from 2.60.

Then after several next boot-ups my computer started to freeze at
Welcome screen and display has gone away but after i unplug cable the
computer worked again.

However now, although my connection is fine, i can browse sites and
the cable is NOT faulty, after boot-up with the cable is plugged, the
taskbar icon says "Network cable is unplugged" but i can browse.

How to get rid of it?

Very thanks.
 
Update: I've tried a lot of things such as re-installing Winsocks, TCP/
IP and ethernet adapter and ethernet driver, none of them worked.

Lately, i've tried one thing that had not been suggested in any of
forums and it is to create a user password before loggin on Windows,
after that "network cable unplugged" icon turned into "connected" but
i couldn't understand why it's related to logging on.

I know that Windows 2000 was initializing, preparing before logging,
but XP does NOT seem.

What do you think? Especially MVPs?

Thanks you.
 
If it is connecting to a switch, try a different port. Or this search result may help,

Hi, thanks for the reply. I've read and applied all the instructions
as mentioned in the link.

But strangely, the only solution is setting user password and creating
a logon screen before coming through desktop.

What do you think about that?

Thank you.
