help! dual onboard lan won't work
I have an epox motherboard, 8RDA3G model, which has 2 on board lan
ports. Recently i made a cross UTP cable and connected it to another computer, for file transfer use. Apparently it worked. But just last 2 weeks, i had installed a DSL connection, and now I couldnt both lan ports to work at the same time. So i tried putting a pci lan card so that i can share dsl for both computers. This even made things worse. Now that there's a lan card, one of my onboard ports won't light up when i put either cable to it. I tried removing the PCI lan card, but still to no avail. Right now, I use my PCI lan card for internet, and the onboard lan ports serve no use. |

Windows? Which one? What are you trying to do with two ports? Route? Bridge? Why two ports anyway? Why not both computers straight to the DSL router?
