I just noticed my one PC has a crossover cable to connect to the router. If I use a straight trough patch cable it does not work.
This is a newer PC with a Biostar MOBO and a AMD Athlon II on board.
I have an older PC that uses the straight through patch cable
Here is where it gets really strange.
If I connect the patch cable direct between the old PC and the new PC it works!!!
I would think I would have needed a straight cable since I need a crossover for the router. Any idea why this is??
