I tried connecting to another a
href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?
q=laptop&v=55"laptop/a running XP using a crossover
cable, and we couldn't see each other. We both ran the
a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?
q=networking&v=55"networking/a wizard, rebooted,
reconnected cables, etc., but no luck. The other user
could see himself, but not me. I could not even see
myself in a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?
q=Network&v=55"Network/a Places. No a
href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?
q=firewall&v=55"firewall/a was being used.

I also tried connecting to a a
href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?
q=hotel&v=55"hotel/a a
href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?
q=network&v=55"network/a for some high speed a
href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?
q=internet&v=55"internet/a, but no luck. This made me
think that my a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?
q=network&v=55"network/a a
href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?
q=card&v=55"card/a was fried, but when I connect at a
href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?
q=home&v=55"home/a with my DSL modem, it works without
problems.

Any ideas?
