    Right so i have my NP9262 and ive tried to connect it by ethernet cable to my brothers Sky netgear router, but it doesnt work it just keeps saying something about a cable not being plugged in, what could do this. i have the ethernet cable connected so why is it saying that no cable is connected?

    go to your Device Manager and make sure its not disabled.... which is probably the case.

    generally if it says cable not connected it means you are using a crossover cable in stead of a straight (or patch) cable

    that could be the case if the switch does not support auto-detection of the link type. it could also be as the other poster suggested, and the device could be disabled. it could also be that you have a bad port on your switch, that your cable has a short or is not properly bonded at the RJ45 ends, or that your onboard NIC is trying to auto-negotiate (or possibly) force the switch to do speed negotiations that are not supported by one of the devices.

    All of that being said, usually the top three causes are:

    1.) nic is disabled in device manager
    2.) bad cable
    3.) improper manually set speed settings on the NIC

    It was working when I send to you,so it's a connection problem.

    I wouldn't think the nic is disabled as it wouldn't say cable not connected, it'd just ignore it...
