Network/Cable Issue
In an attempt to hardwire my basement to our router on the first floor (instead of spotty wireless), I purchased a 100ft. crossover cable from Newegg.com and ran the wire from the router down to the basement. Now, when the cable is connected to the router and then to my laptop, the light goes on signaling connection and the LAN symbol states that it is connected at 100.0Mbps.
However, the internet does not work, just that it is connected to the router. Could this be because I used a crossover cable to connect the laptop to the router? Would a straight-laced cable work in this case, therefore?
