If the lights on the NIC are blinking on and off and the PC gets the "network cable disconnected" message it may be as simple as the cable having a loose connection at the NIC.

Have her wiggle the cable at the NIC and see if that affects the connection (lights blinking off and on) Could be the cable connector itself or the port on the NIC. Maybe just presing it in firmly will help.
