Well... at least ya got a network.
I have two computers sharing a 56k hooked up over a crossover cable and they are both on the same desk :P

Yeah Cody you are right, but ya know I had all of mine on a hub and 56k, and I'm not sure the new way is better..
Actually I only went with cable cause it was cheaper than my dial up and additional phone line...
I'm scanning for virus attack now.. this may be my problem.. or part of it.. | |

Does your cable company require a specific machine name or only a specific MAC address will be assigned an IP address from their DHCP server?
Did they ask about MAC adress on the machine they had you connect direct to the cable modem? | |

Hey I'm a little late, but Welcome to TechIMO Bertbell
I think it's just messed up cause he had me reconfigure everything a 100 times.. 2 hours and no resolution.
But I think I have a virus now too..
Yum frosting on my cake!
slurp.,..
Guess I have to break down and head for the store and some AV software that will run with XPoopy..

I had connectivity problems last week. The tech started with connect computer directly to Cable modem, changed settings, etc.
I played nice but finally asked how this was going to change my link light showing no connection with the head-end unit and got a senior tech who then scheduled a tech visit to check wiring. Problem went away over the weekend.
I've been visiting these boards via TweakIt -> SysOpt -> TechIMO. Just don't have enough time to hang and help people much.
I've used NAV 2002 on my new XP machines. You can order it, CD only from AtomicPark for $26, free shipping. I had to buy a copy from Fry's for an emergency install $49.99. | |
