[johnlogie]

I used a crossover cable in the lan.But couldnt get the options in properties that i could on xp

[wozzo]

You go to connection and sharing center> manage network>right click on network card>properties>ipv4 Settings

There you can set your pc ip gateway ect.

When u goto config/advanced there's no way of changin connection type to 10baseT_halfduplex

[plasterer]

Just Pick the Nearest Or Auto and make sure you enable the Flow....Paul

[johnlogie]
