hi, i have just bought a sony laptop. now i'm trying to connect it to my old
pc (compaq).
i bought a ethernet wire and plugged it in on both computers... nothing
happens. what do i do?
how do i connect them??
 
"pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference in looks between a regular
and a crossover ethernet cable?
 
Nothing in looks

Look At the Connector

You usually Can See the Colored Wires and how They Are hooked up

look at one end, and notice the colors of the wires and the order they
are in
Now look at the other End of the cable and you will see that They are
REVERSED ( Not Wired The Same)

Example

End #1

1st wire is white
2nd wire is Blue
3rd wire is Orange



Now the other End

1st wire is Orange

2nd wire is Blue

3rd wire is White
