Icon says "Network Cable Unplugged"?
I have a windows xp computer that I believe was hit by a power surge. The network cable is plugged into my Ethernet card but it will not recognize that there's a cable plugged in. I've tried resetting the modem, router, computer etc. Changing the NIC speeds. Nothing seems to work. I've read in forums. Still not having any luck at all. I'm probably going to try re-installing windows while I await responses.
I have tried replacing the cable. The ethernet cord I believe is integrated. I'm fixing it for someone else...
The ethernet card rather*
Can you give me a better description on finding where to enable the NIC....and I'm very unfamiliar with the "cmos"...I re-installed windows..its now telling me i'm missing the "ICFGNT " I'm nothing close to an IT...just learning as I go. So anything that's explained please explain in depth. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Confirm that the NIC is enabled. go to control panel, network connections.
You may need to go to the cmos settings and enable it there as well

Did you try using a different network cable? I think that might work. The power surge might have messed up the cable and by you reseting the modem, router, computer might have done nothing. Try using a different cable and tell me if it works.

Either replace the cable, or replace the NIC card. Replacing those are much easier than reinstalling your OS, programs, and documents.
