OK, I have two machines running on XP Pro with all updates. They are
connected to the internet through 10/100 NICs through a router-to-broadband
setup, along with 3 other comps, which works fine. The TCP/IP settings are
manually set to work for this. Now, what I want to do is connect the two
computers with Gigabit NICs with a crossover cable. Can it be done and how?
I have tried everything I could think of and no matter what I do, as soon as
I enable the Gigabit NIC on either comp the internet connection is lost on
that computer until I disable the Gigabit NIC. Thanks in advance for a great
solution!
