Network cable unplugged

I recently had satellite broadband installed and the tech plugged my laptop into it and everything was fine. I now wish to use my desktop PC through the cable and then wireless my laptop. However when I plug the cable into the PC is keeps saying network cable unplugged. Although I can take it out of pcand plug into laptop and itworks fine.

My pc has an onboard via rhine ll fast ethernet adaptor and I thought it may have not been working so I disabled it and bought a USB LAN plug to try that but that didnt work either. I have now enabled the rhine again and going through my device manager, show hidden devices I came up with this list under network adaptors.

- direct parallel
- dm9601 usb to fast ethernet adaptor - packet scheduler miniport
- RAS Async Adaptor
- via PCI 10/100 mb fast ethernet adaptor - packet sceduler miniport
- via rhine ll fast ethernet adaptor
- wan minipost (IP)
- wan miniport (ip) packet scheduler miniport
- wan miniport (L2tp)
- wan miniport (pppoe)
- wan miniport (pptp)

Help !!

Re: Network cable unplugged

The issue here is the satellite modem must have it's power cycled to connect to a different device. I'd consider a broadband router to allow you to connect both of them without continually having to cycle power to the modem.
