Subject: Re: network guys
okay, I thought I did it correctly.... I mean the modem is lights when I
plug the new cable in but my brother tells me that he still isn't connected
and his box (windows) won't ping google. You just need to make the pairs
alike on each end, right? I answered that question by looking at a known
good cable. I just replaced the rj45s and same thing. I just restarted the
ms box and after it started the front network computer icons lit up. Then I
tried to renew the IP but it failed. Then I left and came back to the
computer and there was a bubble message that said it was connected but
still couldn't get any pages to load. Then I disabled the connection and
reenabled and it said it connected. What's going on?
