Hi all , i seem to get the " A network cable is unplugged " a lot when nothing is unplugged. Here is some of the informatin that might bee needed -

System : Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2.

Other : VAIVO V series, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00 GHz, 512 MB of RAM.

Modem : BT Voyager 105 ADSL Modem (and I am on AOL Silver)

Heres how the line goes :

USB Blue Cable from the computer USB port - BT Voyager 105 ADSL Modem -
Yellow DSL cable to DSL filter - Extension thing - Sky TV filter ( huh just found out 5 secs ago lol) - Master Phone Socket

P.S The " A network cable is unplugged " message pops up when someones calling us or we are calling someone.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Oh and 1st post ( yey

Actually, you do NOT filter the DSL modem, just every other telephone instrument on the line. I'd review your installation and make sure you have the filters properly installed for ALL the telephone devices and NOT for the DSL modem.
