Network problems

Post by Soul Ripper »

I've been having problems connecting Ace Pace's PC to mine, we're connecting over the network port, both FW's down, yet the computer says the connection is unplugged, the problem seems to be in AP's computer, but everything checks out.

Any idea's?
My english isnt prefect (espcially grammer) so dont kill me if I write something wrong :).
I'm a noob in this forums so incase I'm doing something wrong or something against the rules, PLEASE take it easy on me... A warning will do just fine to prevent me doing this again.

Normal network cables can not be plugged from one computer directly into another.

Get a crossover cable or a hub/switch & another normal network cable.

thanks for the help, might try hot rigging it or negotiating for a cross-over cable from the bro's.
