| All too easy. 1. You stated "After updating the hardware the link was fully opened...I couldn't see her shared files...my mum's computer couldn't see ANY shared files..." In reality, the link between the computers wasn't "fully opened". There may have been some conectivity, but since it wasn't a crossover cable, the two computers couldn't "talk" to each other. 2. A crossover cable is specifically designed to connect one PC direct to another PC (via a NIC) 3. A crossover cable won't work to connect a computer direct to a DSL modem or a router 4. urm...cause that's the only way you can connect two computers. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, ATi Radeon 8500; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS, Nikon D2Hs and D100 |
