hi,

i've, having a problem connecting to the internet via ethernet cable.
in the networking panel it tells me the ethernet cord is unplugged, but
it is (and i've tried other cables, from other wall outlets) and the
ethernet controller is enabled. i have reason to believe someone may be
playing a prank on me, and changed some setting, but i have no idea what
could be done, other than disabling the ethernet controller in the
control panel, would make it so that the laptop doesn't see the ethernet
cord.

thank you in advance!



EDIT: this appears to be in the wrong forum, if someone could delete
this that'd be great, reposting elsewhere. thanks, and sorry!

You may try to change the NIC speed. Or these search results may help.

Hi
The computer does not care about the Cable per-se, it cares about the
capacity to connect to whatever is at the other end of the cable.
In the wall the cable goes to another Computer or Network device, are you
sure that there is another adequate network device to connect to
If there is one what is it and how it is configured?
