My network connection continuously alternates between saying it is unplugged
and local area connection is now connected. What is causing this? It began
when I set up the pc to log a person into the domain running Windows Server
2003. Even when I unplug all the network connections in the router except
this one it continues to have the problem.

It's happened to me before too. It was a bad wire. It could be other issues
too, such as a bad switch port. You'll have to try to diagnose it further.

What else have you done to diagnose it? Swap switch ports? Wall ports?
Wires? Anything in the event logs? Test the wires with a patch tester? How
about the line from the wall patch to the switch?

You posted this to numerous groups. Do you feel they were all relevant to
this issue?

Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:

Could be a speed and duplex mismatch. Under the configuration of your NIC, go
to Advanced and change the Link Speed and Duplex to 100 MB Full Duplex. If
that doesn't work, try 10 MB Full Duplex.
