I am having same problem -- trying to connect 2 computers both with NICs and a crossover
cable. Want the win98 machine to be client, the winXP computer also has roadrunner
cable modem connected through usb. The cable unplugged message comes on every few
seconds then disappears. Ran the new connection wizard floppy from the XP setup wizard
on the win 98 machine and got a security restrictions message. What worries me is
that the cable unplugged message blinks on and off. Pretty sure that the cable is
good and I know the NIC in the win 98 machine is good. Device manager and diagnostics
on the win XP NIC shows it's fine and no conflicts. What settings on the win 98 machine
should I check? Any ideas what else I can check or do?
