I have ICS setup and my computer (the host) is working perfectly but the one that is hooked up to me (the client) barely works. It can get onto AIM, but very slowly, I can get an IP address (very slowly) but it wont open up any pages on the net. I have a 50ft Cat5 cable running between the two computers. I'm pretty sure it's a cross-over because that is what is said on the label of the cable bag. But if it weren't a crossover, are these the symptons I would see, or are there other reasons why it's doing this?
Any ideas? Thanx
Update: I just had the client computer ping yahoo and I got a 25% loss. The ms are higher than usual and inconsistent. The Host is fine as it should be.
