[SOLVED] Ethernet cable problems

[mr.hypnotic12]

so basically my ethernet cable keeps disconnecting at random times and to make the internet work again I need to plug out the ethernet cable and plug it back in but it will work for about 5 mins then I have to repeat sometimes it doesn't even work and it's pissing me off because about 1 month ago nothing was wrong with my internet now it keeps doing it from time to time.

cannot change ethernet cable atm as it's ran thru the wall and I need to bust open a hole in the wall to change the ethernet cable... Please help me I'm tired I can't do anything at home it's really boring!

It sounds like your Ethernet cable is damaged. If your lucky it's at the end. If not, the damage is in the wall somewhere. I understand you don't want to dig into the walls. How about cutting off the end and rewiring it into a plug and then using a 1 foot patch cable.

U didn't disclose whether you are using a patch, nor what normally I would do, test another machine in its place, or use my long 50ft patch cord just to test.

Assuming u did all that and narrow it down the problem to this cable, I'd say most likely the ends than the cable itself and the ends are easier to replace.
