Hi there... Been told that you can hook up 2 or more machines to the NTL cable modem...
Ran out and got a crossover cable as advised, tried connecting the two XP based machines via the ethernet ports... and nothing...
What am I doing wrong here?
Is there something i've overlooked?
I Thought XP was meant to be small network friendly...
I've got the bigger machine hooked up to the modem via the USB 2 port, and the smaller machine into the network card, but they don't detect each other...
Is there any way that I can hook up both machines to the cable modem to have equal access, or is this all just a myth?
Any help would be much appreciated, as i'm just gonna rip the cable modem off the wall and bin it at this rate!
