I need help badly. I have a laptop running Windows ME
and a desktop running XP Home. I've purchased a Netgear
FA411 Mobile Adapter which plugs into my laptop with a
RED crossover cable connected to the desktop internal
Realtek RTL8139 card.
Now according to Windows all I have to do is run the "Set
up a home or small office network" wizard and all will be
ok. HUH!!
I've been on this for days now and I cannot get the two
to talk. The local area connection status on both
computers says that they are connected and if I switch
off either computer I get a message telling me that the
network cable is unplugged.
What do I need to do to fix this, barring throwing both
computers out the window.
