lost internet connection
I have recently for the first time, booted UBUNTU 8.10 from the Live CD in Demo mode. I had a quick look at all the features etc, browsed the internet using firefox, and all was good. I then restarted my pc, and booted back into Widows like i have been doing for the last 2 years. I noticed a message in the system tray saying that the network cable was unplugged. So i check all cables, and non are unplugged. I swaped ports on the modem and still no difference. I noticed that on the front of the modem where the network activity status light's normally flash, the light for the port that i was plugged into was off. I then looked at the rear of my pc where the cable plugs in, and also no flashing lights indicating activity within the network. There is definitely nothing wrong with my lead either, because i decided to reboot the pc using Ubuntu again, and booted in demo mode also, just like first time, and can browse the internet send/receive email etc.
As soon as i boot back into Windows, i get the message, 'network cable unplugged' and it isn't!!
can someone please help ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
