Hi;

I installed Vista Ultimate x64 to a second partition of my hard drive
and now I have two OS, one xp in drive c and one vista in drive f and I
can use both fine

After installing the Vista Ultimate x64 and everything was working fine


I rebooted in XPwhere i got a message saying: "network cable unplugged"
but everything was well conected and internet was working well in vista

I tried the following:
-system restore (nothing changed)
-i went into device manager, my network adapter was working fine, i
re-installed my network drivers.. nothing changed either

Here is some info on my setup..
I installed vista with a clean install, on a separate hardrive from
where XP was..
And I have a lan at home, so my comp is plugged in my wired router.. My
router is Linksys 4 port ethernet switch + adsl modem with wifi

I googled my problem but I only found a few ppl with the same issue as
me after they had installed vista, but they did not have much replies..

Any suggestions on what I could try ?

Thanks

hi,

there can be many resons for this problem to come.

1. check the computers IRQ setting check whether its confilicting with
any other device if so change. You can the IRQ settings in the system
bios.

2. on you network card on windows xp go network connections, right
click local area connections, click properties, seletect the network
adpoter configure. in the advace tab make sure that the network adpotoer
is either set to auto or full duplex 100mbps. its best to keep it as
auto.

hope this helps you cheers

Hi Friends;

Thanks for your suggestions and answers.

I tried everything but did not solve the problem, after few days
googling I found a post about this problem and aaplied it, it solved the
issue and I want to share this with you to help people who have same
problem

After booting to vista when you want to boot to xp, shut down the pc
from vista, take out the power cord of pc wait 1-3 minutes and plug it
again and turn on the computer and go to xp here it solved your network
card will take the ip and you will get connection.

Its too weird but it works, somehow vista uses another way to get ip
over DHCP and after you shutdown your pc your network card and router
still will be in touch.

After you take off the power cord, all capacitors will discharge and
your network card releases its connection with router, then you plug the
power cord and open the xp, it will obtain a new connection from router,
otherwise it will say network cable unplugged.

Hope this will be helpfull to some other people who have the same
problem.

Thanks for everybody who want to help me
Regards
