"Network cable unplugged" in other os after installing
If you installed Vista (Build 5308) and then after running it for a while, and you decide to do a dual-boot into other OS (e.g. WinXP, Win 2003), you observe the following problems
1. Network light is not on
2. The network icon shows "Network cable unplugged"
I powered down the PC + the cable modem and waited for a few minutes before re-starting it. And presto! I am connected back to the internet via the cable modem.
