I have tried everything to get the Ethernet to show on my TCP/IP so i can set up a home network....we have 2 computers ,XP Professional and Windows ME... it shows on the ME machine, not the XP...so we tried swapping cards and it was the same....so the cards are fine....cable is new..is there a setting im missing...
 
How are these computers connected? Directly from one ethernet card to the other (with no hub)? If so, you can't use a conventional patch cable - you need a crossover cable.
