I have a cat5 cross-over cable which I used to use to synchronise my XP
pro laptop with my win2k desktop however since upgrading my desktop to
xp pro, the two are no longer able to connect to each other. They both
say "This connection has limited or no connectivity" and complain that
they are not able to get an IP address. If I manually assign IP
addresses (in the 192.168.0.x range) they stop complaining but they
still can't see each other. Windows firewall is disabled at both ends
since I use Kerio and this is set to trust the ethernet connection.
They both have wireless connections too and are able to communicate
over that but sync'ing 60GB of data over a wifi connection isn't much
fun! Any help greatly appreciated.
