I tried to go on the internet with my other computer but a window appeared
stating "A network cable is unplugged". To my knowledge there is only one
network cable (that's the one going from my PC to a network router) and I
tried to illiminate that right off the bat. I checked the back and it was
plugged in to the card. I disconnected it and reconnected it, "A network
cable is unplugged". so I disconnected the cable from my router and plugged
it directly to the back of the computer. "A network cable is unplugged". I
then used the hardware trouble shooter. It said the card was OK. Still no
internet and the message is still there "A network cable is unplugged". I
opened up the case and removed the card and put it in another slot and
booted up, "A network cable is unplugged". I went and bought another card
and installed it with new drivers "A network cable is unplugged".

What have I not done? What else could be causing that message? And no, I
can't get on the internet from that computer. I plugged the modem cable back
into the router and I am able to use another PC to go online and ask for
HELP.

What have you not done? I would say trying another *network cable* that
works. :)

Been There and Done That.
I have even swapped the cables from other computers around with this one and
still won't work.

Well, first off, please always mention what version of Windows you are
using. They do vary.
From the description, I concluded Windows XP. Go to the Network Connections.
Check to see what network adapters are installed. Make sure the adapter
listed is the one last installed into the box. Make sure it is enabled. Also
go to System/hardware/device manager. Look under Network Adapters. Use the
view menu to display hidden devices. Remove all the network adapters listed.
reboot the computer. XP should install only the drivers for the card that is
currently isntalled.
The message basically means the signal thru the cable is not being completed
at one of the ends.

Buy another CAT5 cable, straight thru not a cross-over. The wires in the
connector could be broken. I believe the cable from a modem to the pc should
be crossover and so it may not work properly if you used a straight cable.
When you use a router, you need straight thru cables from modem to router
and router to pc. Make sure you are plugging the cable into the correct RJ45
port on the router, not the uplink port.

try this and see how it works.
