Question about
EBLWii

I experienced a really weird problem this morning with my MacBook.

Most days, I have it plugged in to the AC adapter, ethernet, 2 USB devices, a second monitor, and speakers all at the same time. So pretty much every port is full.

Lately, I've been experiencing problems with the ethernet connection in my dorm room. My computer doesn't connect to the internet in the morning, but the connection comes back around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I thought it was the Universities problem. Then this morning, I found that the connection had lasted all night, and it worked fine all morning. Until I left for class, when I started unplugging all of my devices. As soon as I started unplugging things, the connection cut out again and I got the "Cable Unplugged" dialogue in System Preferences, even though the ethernet cable was still plugged in. It was like some sort of weird magnetic pulse or electricity surge cut the ethernet connection.

Anyone know what happened? Or how I can fix it? Thanks!
