| 708630 | 2008-09-29 07:38:00 | Hi all. I would like to connect 2 computers together via a network cable. I was given a cross over cable and was told it would work.... when I connect the computers together they connect but nothing happens, it says I must assign an IP address for each machine. How do I do this??? Thanks |
