My damn computer (as i'm typing) says in a pop up in the lower right corner Local Area Connection - "A network cable unplugged" for a sec and goes away and it's slowing down my computer ! Whats the cause of this?
 
A few things can cause this. They include:
  • Poor connection between your NIC and the cable.
  • Poor connection between the cable and the hub/router/switch/modem.
  • Faulty cable.
  • Faulty NIC.
  • Faulty hub/router/switch/modem.

My suggestion is to make sure its properly pushed in on both ends, and if it continues get another cable.

I have moved this thread from Distributed Computing to Storage and Networking, please post threads in the proper forum in the future.

Thanks i changed the cables ,router is new and no probs with that ! What else? I didn't know where "troubleshooting " was and didn't think it would be called storage an networking ! I said i'm a newbie ! :)
 
You still haven't ruled out a faulty NIC. Might want to play around with the NIC speed/duplex settings too.

Do you have any kind of hogging programs installed? That includes Bulky (TM) firewalls (Symantec), VPN software, packet filtering software, misconfigured P2P software.
