Can't Always Connect To The Net
I don't know why but as long as my laptop's plugged into
my ethernet connection, I have no problem getting on the net. But if the wire is jostled and disturbed, causing the computer to lose the connection (the indicator light goes off for a moment), I cannot continue using the internet unless I make sure the wire is connected again and restart my whole computer. It seems the only way that I can connect to the internet is for me to have it connected before I start up. The internet won't work if I connect the wire after startup. What's wrong and can I change this ? |

Can't Always Connect To The Net
This sounds like a hardware problem, not a software problem.
