    I have an A105-S101 notebook that was purchased back in January from BestBuy .
    Recently I have been getting a "network cable unplugged" message on
    the wired Ethernet adapter. The wireless works fine. This notebook
    has the Toshiba ConfigFree software installed so I'm wondering if this
    could be causing a problem. I've tried deleting the wired Ethernet adapter
    in Device Manager and letting XP reinstall the driver but I still get the same
    error. I've tried several known good cables, different ports in the router
    which function fine on other systems, etc.
    I'm starting to think that my wired Ethernet adapter hardware may
    be bad. Has anyone else experienced this ? I was thinking of uninstalling ConfigFree to see if this is somehow interfering with the adapter, but I really like the functions it performs, auto switching wired/wireless. Don't want to go through the hassles of trying to reinstall it from the restore disk. Any advice
    would be appreciated. Thanks.
