Desperately trying to connect a laptop (XP Pro) to a desktop (also XP Pro).
Running Network Setup wizard on laptop throws up the message that my Xircom
Ethernet II 10/100 card is disconnected - but it's not. It's docked in the
side of the laptop and when I check the card's functionality on the laptop,
it says it's working normally.
I've got the laptop connected to a router modem via the Xircom NIC and a
piece of Cat5 and there's no activity on the router at all.
Could my NIC be bust, or I am missing out something mega obvious?

TIA

Scott, did you ever get an answer to this question? I am having the same
problem connecting my "new" system to the existing network. The card on the
existing laptop shows the same info, but I got it to connect...I just cannot
remember how!
