I don't have a wireless hotspot as I rarely use the internet outside of my bedroom, which which is half bedroom and half computer room. Since I've graduated from school, I rarely use my laptop except as a sort of e-reader reading at night. I use a long
CAT5e patch cable instead.
Unfortunately, I damaged the connector last night, and won't be able to get a new RJ-45 plug until after work tomorrow, and I won't be able to actually fix it until I can bring the cable in to work and use their crimper.
In the mean time, the connection keeps comming and going every time I breathe with the laptop resting on my chest in bed. Is there any way to stop those balloons that notify me the connection is been disconnected, and then is connected again? Preferably while
keeping the icon there so I can look when I'm ready to click on a link for the next chapter?
In other words, I want to turn off the
"local area connection 2:
A network cable is disconnected"
and
"local area connection is now connected
speed: 100Mbps"
They keep poping up and are getting annoying. Not to mention blocking the bottom of the browser window. I realize they are there for a reason as there is a very real malfunction, but it's going to be a few more days before I can fix it.
BTW, is there any way to rename "Local Area Connection" to "Wifi connection" and "Local Area Connection 2" to "Wired Ethernet Connection"? Easier to remember which is which.
