Hey again,
I've a problem connecting to the network in my university. When I plug in the network cable, I keep getting error messages saying that the cable has been unplugged. Sometimes I actually do get connected, whilst on other occasions I just get this error message over and over again.

In my networks connection folder, there are 3 things. LAN connection, 1394 connetcion and Network Bridge.

THe university told us to set the IP settings within the Lan connection settings, to Automatically detect. I'm not sure what else I'm doing wrong.

Using windows XP.

Can anyone help me out?
