torkellOkay, now my desktop is being moody. The network cable *is* plugged in - I can see the 3 green lights on the switch which mean it is talking to the network card. So why does it think the cable isn't in?
Right, let's try unplugging it from both ends.
Okay, the switch has lit up green. Windows is still refusing to see the friggin' cable! And I'd rather not restart this machine, as it's the one that I'm a) connected to the internet on; b) playing music from; and c) typing this on. Grumblegrumblegrumble...
*curses windows*
Okay, what is up with this thing? It's even sending packets across! I can ping the laptop across this connection!
Ah sod it, restart.
