Vista - Dual Lan but one ethernet cable problem

Hey!

I have dual lan on my motherboard and sometime when vista boots up the
netwrok wont connect ot the internet, vista says plug the cable into the
other port, so i do, and it works. but i have to do this evrey other time i
boot up and its getting annoying. is there any way i can fix this problem?

The LAN should work if an ethernet cable is plugged into it and not have to
switch it around a lot

Thanks!

If you disable one of ports, does that fix the problem?

When you switch on your computer press the del key as it is in the memory test area.
This will put you into your bios.
You will have control over what parts of the motherboard are turned on and off.
Refer to your manual if you have one. This will also free a small amount of resources.

Open Network and Sharing center. Select Manage network connections. Right
click on one of connection, and then select disable.

I dont think it will come back. It can only use the ports that are enabled.
