you need a crossover cable....the cable you have is probably just a regular cable..a crossover cable has some of the wires switched over...if you are just going from NIC to NIC..without a hub etc..you need a crossover cable.

Regardless of any IP settings, your NIC should still receive packets that are sent out on the wire (it will just ignore those that aren't meant for it). I still suggest trying a different cable. Btw, if you used the wrong cable type (like patch vs. crossover) neither computer would show any packets being received. | |

Best to start your own thread.

But start here. | Hi
your approach seems very probably to me, as i have a similar problem
have two NIC
an external one and one onboard
i have always used the external one. but recently i switched to see if i can get Wake on link to work
but it didnt work.
anyway. so i continued to use my onboard NIC.
before. people can connect to my PC in games, with Remote administrator, with seti@home and also of stuff
now cant@@
so i plug the cable back to my external NIC.
but now it wont work!
it wont renew my IP. !
i guess ur approach would suit mine.
but i dont know how to set it to static ips | |
