Hi, the thing is; is that it works fine with one laptop, but not the other (it is a cross-over cable that I am using). Any more thoughts would be very welcome. I will try a few of the suggestions first. Push comes to shove and I will use the other laptop, but I would prefer to get the non-working one up and running first.
