If you had been using 'normal' ethernet I'd be wondering/asking if you're
using a 'crossover' cable to connect the two or a hub. Accidently using the
wrong cable (I know I should mark them) kept me up a night or two in the
past;o)
How do you go about this with 'wireless' (I don't have it so I'm curious as
hell) do you configure some software or have a hardware switch to do it or
does it always come with a hub?
Good hunting,
