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. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo

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. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
