LAN Connection Problem

Hi,
When I connect the LAN wire (from router or directly the cable modem) the connection keeps toggling between Connected and Disconnected.

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Abhishek.

Maybe the network card is broken . I have a thinkpad and after many years of unplgging and replugging the network card started playing up. At first it would only work if i wiggled the cable in a certain way so the light came on and then held it there, but as time wore on it started working less and less.
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

When you say "plug another laptop" - what does that mean?

try to connect another computer. if everything work ok on another PC, you have a problem with the laptop, and it can only be fixed in a lab

Or get like a £20 PCMIA ethernet card. If it works with the different card then you know the port is broken.
