Thread Name: Tech: Ethernet Y-Splitter for Cable Modem?
Subject: RE: Tech: Ethernet Y-Splitter for Cable Modem?
Ok...I am going in circles here. I 'thought' I made the setup 'disk' using a flash drive. It asked me if I wanted to make setup disk and I said yes...It put a file called 'netsetup' on the flash, and I ran it...but all it was, was the same wizard I can run from XP, and it did nothing new.
Now, *IF* I have done too much..that is, something wrong, out of order or using the wrong names..etc...how do I start over so as to do as John says, in that specific order?
As of now, both machines say they are aware of a network, and that it is functioning, but somehow, it does not recognize the assigned letter (Z) to be functioning. As of now, I do not see any // connections when I open either Windows Explorer (which I dislike) or several other file managers which I trust to find ANYTHING.
*wry grin*...This is like a narrow road with mud: it's hard to go forward, but it ain't clear how to turn around or back up.
