xable Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Go to start -> Connect To -> Show all connections, what does it say in the status column next to you connection? Try right clicking it and selecting enable or repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitknight Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 that is not possible when i dont have a connection, because when i dont have it, i cant se the connection, its not showing at all, its like i have disconected the network card from my motherboard. i can not do any settings on it or anything, except when it works, if i try repair windows just tell me to reinstall the drivers for it and when i try that the installation program cant find the card... im sorry for a really bad explination, not from england, hard to explain on a different language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xable Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 If it`s not being detected when you try to reinstall the drivers then it could be failing hardware. Before replacing hardware though I`d rule out software problems first by running virus and malware scans, if they come back clean reinstall windows, of course backup first. Sorry I can`t be of more help, it`s hard to be with a general problem like this. My PC had a habbit of rebooting itself and after reinstalling xp I replaced the ram, PSU and CPU before finally replacing the motherboard which turned out to be the problem. You just have to rule everything out untill you find the cause. Easyer said than done Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeSSaS Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 If your controller chip of ethernet is "Realtek", and when you change the "Auto Disable PHY" setting to "Enabled" and the network cable is unpluged, the driver will automatically disable PHY (physical layer)!.
