| 335895 | 2005-03-23 07:27:00 | The cable that came with your dsl modem is a patch cable not a crossover cable, you need to buy a crossover cable. Some network cards are able to use either cable to make a direct connection between pc's (Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Controller for instance) this is most likely the reason you managed to connect to your friends pc using the patch cable. |

| 335896 | 2005-03-24 21:17:00 | ok, how do i know what cable to buy? | DigitalMessiah (7649) | ||
| 335897 | 2005-03-27 11:37:00 | Any computer store should be able to help you, just make sure they understand you need a crossover cable to network two computers directly (network card to network card). | Steven (7085) | ||
