My dell computer says that my LAN line is disconnected. I've checked all the connections and they seem to be secure. Where is the LAN line located and what do I do next?

It depends on the PC but generally the LAN cable is plugged into a socket at the back of the PC.

If your machine works correctly you need not worry about the LAN connection message. There's a built in Ethernet Network card and the message is merely saying there's no wire plugged into it - information and not an error.

I guess you connect to the internet wirelessly - the LAN card permits you to connect a wire between your machine and the Router should you wish to - or to any wired network. If it's really annoying, you can turn off the network card via Control Panel & Network Connections.

Good luck...

Lan line is your network connection to the internet, or internal network. NOT m/c specific, usually on the back, you have a plug in lead, if it normally goes to a Hub or some internet connection check the connections to that. reboot everything
If that does not sort it. contact your isp
