Hi, I'm also having problems connecting two PCs with a crossed UTP cable.
In order to configure both PCs, I had put them next to each other with a (home-made)
crossed cable between them. The connection worked fine and after the PCs were configured,
I move the second PC to its permanent location, pulled the UTP cable through the
wall and re-assembled the crossed cable. My cable tester showed that the connection
was OK and non-parallel.
Nevertheless, XP shows "Network cable unplugged". The guy from the store where I
bought my network cards told me that the reason might be that some wires are pinched
and therefore weaken the signal. I find it difficult to believe this. He says that
making a crossed cable is much more difficult than making a straight cable because
of the possible pinching.
Any ideas/comments?
Please do not reply by e-mail.
Thanx.
