I am experiencing a strange problem with my home computer. (I am typing this from work.) We have cable through comcast and we have the modem connected to a hub, and all of our computers are connected to hub.
I was playing FFXI all day yesterday, and I went to sleep with three albums downloading on soulseek, and some porn seeding on uTorrent. When I woke up, my computer said my network cable was unplugged and I no longer had access to the internet.
I double checked the network cable connections to my computer and the hub. I turned off my computer, the hub, and the modem. Then I turned on the modem, then the hub, and then my computer.
It still says my network cable is not plugged in! I don't even get the yellow icon on the task tray that says "limited connection" that would allow me to repair the IP. Its just an annoying red icon in the task tray that says my network cable is not plugged in.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Or what might have happened during the period of time when I was asleep. I went to bed with everything downloading and uploading perfectly fine, and at fast speeds.
I don't understand what is happening. D:
Edit: the internet is working on the other computers. So its not comcast, its something local.
