well...im not a nertworking wizz or any of that stuff but i have a m8 that is and i brought up your prob to him

the only things that he says that could be rong
is that there is a comon prob on crossover cabels of cat5 that is they were badly made =s try using it on another networking if it doesn't work at least you know that the prob is the crossover cable if not.....he says that could be a setup configuration prob
