I've downloaded new drivers for the internal NIC card on the Dell. Still the
Local Area Connection shows "network cable unplugged".
I've disabled IPV.6, QoS Stacker, Link-Layer topoloy discovery mapper i/o
driver and link-layer topology discovery responder and still I get "network
cable unplugged".
Frustrated eyond belief at this stage. Why does this have to be soooooooo
hard? Can you help me?
Change the duplex settings of the network card (in card's driver properties)
to 10Mb/Half Duplex and see if that works. It's probably set to auto-sensing
at the moment and sometimes this can fall down (I've seen it fall down with
linksys routers before actually). If that works, try fiddling with the
settings, the ideal setting would probably be 100Mb/Full Duplex.
The problem is i open a ftp site, and logon,
It shows AS a HTML site, well i can browse the site and such
and i can download. but i cannot add my files as i could on XP.
How want it, is to open a ftp site AS a folder style.
so i can drag/drop objects between the folders ;)
If IE7+ cant handle this, can someone advise/refer me to a browser
with such abilities.
Tx in advanced ;)

Does the 'network adapter' show up in Device manager? (It should as you get
the disconnected message)
Do the connectivity lights come on at the router and Dell end?
Expect that there are two small lights at the dell end, one should light
when cable is connected to router the other when traffic is passing.
If the lights at the Dell and router end don't light it is possible (not
very likely with newer gear) that you have the wrong type of cable between
the Dell and the router. There are two cables wirings: normal and crossover.
Modern gear detects which cable is being used so doesn't matter. Some
el-cheapo devices don't do the auto detect.
If that is the case (again pretty unusual with newer gear) you will need to
change the cable or get a really cheap network hub (they contain an internal
crossover).
If you have a crossover cable, then it should work if you connect the Dell
and one of your laptops directly without the router. You will get a local
peer-peer two computer network with the lights on.

I agree with your diagnosis.
There is a 3rd type of cable out there:
Miswired.
Some hardware will work wit incorrect pairings on shorter runs (50' is a
fairly short run). Others are fussy.
OP, Look at the colors of the wires in both ends. Holding the plugs the same
way, a straight cable will be identical. while their is a color convention, as
long as the PAIRS are properly terminated, it will work
Important NOTE pr2 (usually the green pair) is split around pr1 (not really
used except for POE equipment)
pr4b
pr4a
pr2b <---
pr1a
pr1b
pr2a <---
pr3b
pr3a
Lastly, disable "allow power to be turned off on this device" feature (at
least for testing).
IE 7 doesn't support FTP folder browsing.
You have to use Explorer to accomplish this now.
Open Windows Explore and enter the FTP site name in the address bar.
This should give you the folder browsing again and allow you to upload
files.

But when i do that here on vista, it pops up internet explore automatic
and goes to requested ftp-url.
So im haveing some troubles setting the settings for explore ? vs internet
explore.
Kind regards

If this option is not available, click on Tools, Internet Options
Click on Advanced
Under Browsing, make sure Enable FTP folder view (Outside of Internet
Explorer) is checked.

If the world were perfect then the auto setting worked every time.
But there are some cases when it just fails, then setting the correct
parameters by hand fixes the problem. In the old days this was more common.
