I'm having problems connecting my computer with my laptop to share my cable modem inernet connection;
for some reason the connection between the laptop and pc keeps saying "a nerwork cable is unplugged", though it is connected and yes, the cables i used are correct en working. How do i know that? I've connected another laptop to this pc before, using the same ethernetcard and cable and it worked!!! I did get the message "Low connectivity" back then, but I solved it by turning off the "Obtain automatic ip adress automayically" and specify a different adress for the 2 computers.
But now, I don't even get that, I only get "a nerwork cable is unplugged"!!!! Why is that??
Who can help me?

Jump to PostAre you using a crossover cable, or a straight through? Some systems can't use a straight cable hooked to another PC.
Jump to PostHello,
For $30 to $40, you can get a small ethernet hub / switch, and remove all confusion involving crossover cables vs. normal ones. Save yourself the grief, and get the proper hardware.
