Hello,

This means you haven't selected PAE.

Boot your Linux box and select PAE kernel from grub.

Network Cable issue is not due to PAE. Test Network cable and if you're sure it has no issue with network card/cable then try check logs.

Thats what Tejas wanna say. Your system is not booted with the PAE kernel.

Modify your grub.conf to boot from PAE kernel or Select the PAE kernel from the Grub menu, while you restarts the machine.
