Trying 2 connect 2 computers w/ cat5 crossover?

admin — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 17:59:47 +0000

I’m trying to hook up my computer & my sister’s using cat5e crossover cable. I know about IP addresses, same subnet mask, same workgroup, etc. My computer sees hers in the workgroup, but can’t access it, and pinging does nothing. Her computer doesn’t see mine in the workgroup, but pings it fine. So why would the connection work only one way & not the other?
Ran the network setup wizard, got nothin’. And we’re trying to do this without a hub… I know for a fact I should just be able to do this with just a cable, yet for some reason it’s not working.
Running XP, not vista.
I completely turned off windows firewall, and neither of us are running any alternate programs… at this point, I’m using a flash drive to take the data off, even though it’s longer, because it seems to be the only thing that’s guaranteed to work.

How long can you directly connect two PCs using crossover ethernet cable without dysfunction?

I am using 60 ft and they don’t connect for some reason. If I connect them using a much shorter ready made cable they connect. It could be a faulty RJ45 crimping job, but before concluding this I want to make sure it is not because of the length.
Oh and I tried a new cable too (same length). Same problem.
Ready-made cables are not an option because I need to pull it through tight pipes/trunks.

admin — Mon, 24 May 2010 13:39:53 +0000

See our website for more information at: www.diablocable.com http How to connect two or more Cisco routers together in back-to-back configuration using crossover cable options. Connecting two or more Cisco routers together in a back to back configuration for a Cisco CCIE lab or demonstration environment is made easier by using Cisco crossover cables. These cables enable a user to cennect two routers that have WAN Interface Cards (or WIC) installed to create a router to router connection. The user may have either Cisco WIC-1T, WIC-2T, NM-4A/S, or NM-8A/S modules. Connecting the modules together in DTE to DCE configuration is made possible by using our serial and smart serial cable options. Older style serial (WIC-1T type) and newer style smart serial (WIC-2T type) can be used. Clocking is determined by the ends of the cable being wired as either DTE or DCE.
