On my lappy I keep getting this message "A local area network cable is unplugged"

I kinow its unplugged, it's been unplugged for two years, I'm on a router. Why has it suddenly decided to flash this message every 30 seconds?

Click start>connect to>show all connections

Right click on "local area connection" and select disable, alternatively just ignore it.

I have disabled it now thanks Ian, but I wonder why it decided to kick in after all this time?

Happens on my computers as well - I've always considered it a 'quirk' of Windows and just ignored it.

Basically your computer has the wireless network as it's default and the LAN as backup, when the wireless signal becomes weak it tries to switch to the LAN hence the message.
You could have soe interferance on the wireless connection.

Humblest apologies to Bill Gates for suggesting his software might not be rock solid.

There are virus scanners available for Macs, don't know if any of them are online though, nor could I recommend a good one.

If you have automatic updates set and installing automatically, any number of networking updates could cause this behaviour.  The previous reply to disable the connection was the correct answer.
