windows 7 thinks cable is unplug!

Everytime I boot my pc it says network cable is unplug. So I unplug it from the pc and replug it and it still cant see the network. Next thing I do is unplug the cable from the switch (netgear) and replug it and now it works... Everytime I boot I have to unplug it from the switch and replug it back in order to get the network online.. what should I do to get rid of this? pls help....

If you have an additional available port, try that, reboot and see if the problem persists. Otherwise check the netgear website and see if there's a firmware update for that make and model.

Also go in to adapter settings properties and Un check IPV6 also if this is not a lapto-p you do not need to ahve the power saving feature enabled found i8n device magnager network adapter properties under power managment tab
