D-Link AirPlus DWL-G630 802.11g/b Wireless Adapter

Using G630 but get "network cable unplugged"... (by 2 users)

posted by ozinwichita on Oct 26, 2006


I have the DLink G630 C2 with latest drivers installed on Windows 2000. It used to work then all of a sudden it stopped working upon starting the computer and would just place a computer icon in the tray with a red X through it and when you hold the mouse over the icon it says "network cable unplugged". I've uninstalled the Dlink and all software and tried reinstalling it, no luck.

My ethernet card (Kingston) works fine and both the Dlink and the Kingston used to work at the same time when each was in its respective slot. I've tried uninstalling the Kingston then reinstalling the DLink and software but no luck. I have tried switching slots, no luck.

Any help would be appreciate. I'm relatively new at this so please keep it simple! :-)

To responsed to the previous suggestion. I have tried my Dlink and Kingston independently. The Kingston (wired) works fine. It is then disabled and I try the Dlink (wireless). The WIRELESS (emphasis added not shouting) once installed with drivers etc. according to instructions is the one that shows up with a computer icon with a red X through it in the tray, that says "Local Area Connection # network cable unplugged" when the mouse is held over the icon. When I go to Open Network Connections and look at the connections there for the LAN connection specified in the tray message, under Device Name is listed Dlink DWL-G9630 Airplus Wireless Cardbus Adapter and under Status it says "network cable unplugged".

Now I know that "network cable unplugged" does not seem to logically refer to a wirelss adapter, but however it does. Hence why I am as are others baffled by this problem.

Thanks.

A little confusing this, it would not say 'Network cable unplugged'
if windows was refering to your D-link wireless connection(It's wireless)

The cable unplugged should be refering to your Wired Ethernet card, so there must be no cable connected at one or other end.

You don't mention anything about what the wireless card is trying to connect to(eg Wireless modem/router or another wireless PC).

Maybe your pc is getting confused as to whether you wish to connect wirelessly or wired, as it can only work through one IP Address at a time.

i could be wrong, but you probably thought that they were working but only one was, you really need to explain why you are using both wired and wireless and what is connected to what,

Please reply and hopefully it'll get sorted

I'm having the exact same problem with my Zyair B-100 PCMCIA card. I install the drivers, ones I got from driverskit.com , and it just adds a LAN icon in the taskbar, in addition to the LAN card I already have. In Network Connections, it adds Local Area Connection # Network Cable Unplugged. Yet in "Connect using..." in the properties of the connection, it shows "ZyAIR 100 Wireless PCMCIA". The LAN connection works fine, and I have another PCMCIA card that works as well (Cnet). It just happens with this particular card.
I don't know, I'm starting to wonder if it's a hardware problem...
