Got my NIC, and it came with a generic ethernet cable. I'm guessing that's why it's not working. Both computers say that the cable is unplugged, and I can't seem to get a windows network to work. Except for the remote PC. It let the wizard finish, but still complains of an unplugged cable. The store I was at had a piece of cat5e that specifically said "patch" on it, but I figured I didn't need it. Was I wrong? Or am I just networking impaired?
