It's a laCie hard drive and to be honest, I don't remember whether I
just dragged it over or used something called Silverkeeper. Ask me
about vacuum tubes and wired circuits and I can answer; my ham license
dates back to the late 1950's. I know a good bit about how computers
operate generally, but I couldn't pass a test if a license were required.

Duh! I misunderstood. Would you repost it, please?

Would you accept exhaustion and an approaching 76th birthday as an
excuse?

Typo: it is NOT unplugged physically.

Typically, when the OS reports the cable is unplugged, yet a cable is
plugged in, it means the cable is faulty, or the other end of the cable
is not plugged into a powered device.

First, try unplugging this cable and using it on another machine with a
known working Ethernet interface to see if the cable itself is at fault.

It might also be a good idea to try using a known working Ethernet cable
on this computer to see if the computer Ethernet port, or the Ethernet
port to which you are connecting it, is working correctly.
