face=Verdana>Hi,<BR><BR>So I've used my laptop connected to the Dell server, via
an Ethernet cross-over cable.<BR><BR>a: When I plug the cable into the 2
original sockets, the green indicator immediately to the left of the plug,
lights up, indicating that there's a connection.<BR>but the green indicator
immediately to the right of the plug (that indicate data) doesn't.<BR>(And they
don't light-up when I connect a normal Ethernet cable to the router
either.)<BR><BR>b: So next, I tried connecting (via the cross-over cable) to the
2 EXTRA Ethernet sockets...<BR>and it works in one of those sockets !<BR><BR>So
I can ping to & from the server, and load the welcome page in the laptops
browser.<BR><BR> So does this mean that the OS has installed
to the wrong Ethernet socket, (as suggested) ?<BR><BR>Q: If so: is it possible
to re-configure the OS to the correct port, without removing the extra-card
& reinstalling the OS ?<BR><BR>Thanks</FONT></BODY></HTML>
