hello everybody,
*hello doctor nick*
anyhoooooooooow,
i was just wonderings if any of youse could help me with a small probs i have.
it kinda goes like this:
i whacked xp on my 2nd comp, while the 1st one runs 2k pro.
the 1st comp has onboard lan (10\100), and the 2nd comp has a card(10\100).
anyhoooow,
i wanted to link 'em, and i did that, except i did it thru a patch panel.
i use normal cat5, and it didn't work.
so i put some crossover in, and it connected, but the comps cant see each other.
and now comp one enjoys giving explorer.exe errors, and reloading.
but htat might just be coincidence.
any help would be hot.
thanks,
cazzman.
