'Network cable unplugged' on windows 10

Hi,

We would like to clarify the following:

• Can you view your network name SSID (wifi name)?
• Can you also view your neighbors networks?
  
• Do you see a yellow triangle with an exclamation point on your wifi icon?
• What driver did you update? Local area connection (LAN)? Or the built in wifi adaptor.

You are getting error message of ''network cable is unplug'' but it allow you to connect using Ethernet cable. Is the problem about wireless connection?

Looking forward to your reply.

 

"Network cable unplugged" - but it is plugged in..


Hoping some of the Windows ninjas can help.

Running Windows 10 Pro on a Dell XPS 8500 desktop/tower. Hard wired Ethernet from Dlink router to PC.

Had been working great for months. But all of a sudden (yesterday) - getting this message from "Net Connections." Ethernet, network cable unplugged (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller). It's strange because it had been working. The PC has WIFI so it's connecting that way.

Here's what I tried so far:

1. Plugged in Ethernet directly from cable modem. Same error.
2. Connected another device to router. It works.

Seems like it's some kind of issue with PC itself - either hardware failure or driver corruption ? Would there be a problem with deleting the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller in the Control Panel>Network and Internet > Network Connections - restarting and see if that fixes the issue.

Any other suggestions?

 

Ethernet Network Cable Unplugged Problem

Well, the new compatible adapter has just been delivered. I installed the necessary driver from Lenovo support and driver extension from Windows update, but still, the adapter LEDs are light for a second when it is plugged in, and inside the Network Connections, Ethernet 4 - Network Cable Unplugged is still visible.

After spending money on new ethernet cables and adapters, the result is still the same, and I have absolutely no idea why it doesn't work.
