Problem:
My desktop computer does not recognize that there is a cross-over cable connected...it gives me a message that cable is unplugged and a red 'X' on the Local Area Connection.
I don't know if there is a hardware or software setting that is not working? The computer was previously accessing the internet via At&t Broadband now I ordered DSL from Speakeasy and I get access via the laptop but I really need it on my desktop.
My desktop uses Windows 2000 & it has a Netgear FA310TX Fast Ethernet Adapter. I can ping my IP and DSL provider can ping the modem.
Any help is much appreciated as I would like to work from home.
Cheers,
Mitch
