You know, maybe I should try that.

I'm so used to Mac OS now, that "classic windows solution for everything" never occurred to me! Lol.

Crossover is different. 806 Views / 6 Replies  
A crossover cable is different than a regular ethernet cable. The pairs are reversed. You have to buy a special cable.
