P L E A S E H E L P ! ! ! ! !Hi. My computer is the host and we are using a D-Link DI 624 router. Since
this is a four-port router, we have three other computers plugged in, all using Windows XP. Everything works fine MOST OF THE TIME. However, for some reason, although they are all hard-wired to the router, mutliple times per hour, we keep getting the following message which is accompanied by a temporary loss of connectivity: Local Area Connection Lost - A network cable is unplugged. Down by my clock at the lower right-hand corner of my monitor, that pops up for a second and then we lose the connection. We are connecting to the Internet via a cable modem. I don't know what to do. We tried going back to our older Linksys ethernet cable/DSL routerthink it may be the router, but it still happened, so we know it's not the routers. Any suggestions? We are going crazy!!!! Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Thanks for > any help anyone can offer. I have been following your posts. I have the exact problem, with different hardware. I have been researching this topic for the last week. It seems that hundreds of people are experiencing the same issue. My problem started with a power surge wchich took our the modem, router and two network cards. All have been replaced, including cables and are working properly. I have contacted the cable company and both Linksys and D-Link. No one can figure this out. I've checked my system for viruses with two different programs and ran both AdAware and Spybot. Can't find any malware. However, I haven't ruled it out quite yet. I will be trying the UPS solution and will let you know.

Thanks for > any help anyone can offer. I just wanted to let you know that I resolved my problem. I hope it lasts. I have a D-Link DI-524 router, brand new, and after reading another forum, I went to their website and downloaded the latest firmware. After installation, there were no more annoying ballons saying that my network cable was unplugged. More importantly, I have been able to download and play internet poker without any disconnections. I hope this helps. Everyone I know has been dumbfounded about this problem. i am not sure if this board is dead or not but i have been reading and i
have had the same problems here is a little about my problems, i have the dlink extreme wireless g router dl-624 I have a wireless d-link router. i have 2 PC's and my 360 hooked into it using wires. Everything works but every 5-10 min the "local area network unplugged" message pops up on my CPU. That causes it to lose connection for a second but enough to disconnect me from Live and have to get signed in again. Anyone know why this would occur? also i tried using the router with just my xbox hooked up and was able to complete a game of madden. i then tried to hook up just my PC to the router and nothing else and it worked fine. Is there such a thing as a more powerful router? is that what i need??? anyone have any advice or know what the problem is.... ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Each computer is unique, so thank you for posting in a new thread. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/my-computer-uniqueness-theorem.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/my-computer-uniqueness-theorem.html When both computers, and the X-Box, are connected, does this disconnection happen on both computers equally? Does it happen simultaneously on both computers You said it's fine with just one computer and the X-Box - did you try just the other computer and the X-Box? What is the DHCP lease time on the router DHCP server set to? What is the DHCP scope - how many computers is it set to issue addresses? -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck mvps org. ok for the first question yes when this happens my xbox goes down and both
computers display the message local area newtork unplugged. All of this happens at the same time. where can i find the DHCP.. is that exclusive for a wireless router. i had a netgear wired router that i just hooked up to see if it would work and i have connected my 2 PC's and the xbox and it was running fine for about an hour. could it have been the router? once again thanks for the help On Fri, 25 Nov 2005 17:27:34 -0600, "eric goldberg"<*email_address_deleted*> Eric,wrote: >ok for the first question yes when this happens my xbox goes down and both >computers display the message local area newtork unplugged.

And, if you don't allocate enough scope - one address for each request, your computers will fight among themselves for the addresses being handled out. Configuring the DHCP server on any NAT router varies according to the router. Here, I regret to say, I must advise you to RTFM. Both DHCP scope and lease time may be problematic here. If you can compare the settings on the Netgear to the D-Link (model??) router, you may find your problem. -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck mvps org. alright i looked at both settings for the wired router and the wireless and
they appear to be the same. The wired router worked all night and is still working this morning. i think i am going to stick with the wired router for now and maybe invest in a new wireless if i still need a wireless signal. thanks for the help On Sat, 26 Nov 2005 09:38:03 -0600, "eric goldberg"<*email_address_deleted*> Well, buying a new wireless router, and not fixing the problem with the currentwrote: >alright i looked at both settings for the wired router and the wireless and >they appear to be the same.

I'm not sure you can improve model wise. The DI-624 is top of the line D-Link, unless you want to try MIMO. Personally, I would stick with that model - unless your opinion is that the DI-624 is defective, and that the defect is likely to be common in other of that model. You might gain by querying the BBR D-Link Forum. <http://www.dslreports.com/forum/dlink> -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck mvps org. I was also trying to find a wireless adaptor to put into my wired router,
that i can place somewhere in my house (with a etherner to ethernet)..Is there such a thing as that? Just someting that can send a wireless signal with also haveing a wired router.
