I hope someone can help me out here. My dad has a computer with windows xp and so do I. I have a broadband internet connection from a usb cable modem.
We would both like to share this connection and right now wanted to do it as cheaply as possible as we intend to get a wireless connection within a month.
I got the following
two 10/100 Network Card with w/wake on Lan
and Belkin Cat5e Moulded UTP Crossover Cable (Yellow Cable with Grey Boot) 25m
I put the cards in each computers pci slots and connected the cable to them both. Both computers recognised the network cards but I can not seem to be able to connect to the other computer at all. Have I got the wrong cable or something?
Please any help is appreciated, I have been trying all different things setting up the network and nothing works.
