... ALL the Network settings are the same ? Protpcols, connection type, usernane, password, network clients, etc. ?
I had Cox "professionally" install my internet on my desktop computer about a year ago and just recently got a laptop. I want to temporarily swap the internet connection from my desktop to my laptop which should just be plug and plag. Unfortunately, this is not happening. My laptop can see that it is hooked up but isn't able to communicate at all.
I have gone to the Cox support page and tried going off of their stuff, but it still is not working. My desktop is running XP and my laptop is XP Pro. All the settings in network places are the same except my desktop has a "Network Monitor Driver" showing in addition to the normal TCP/IP, etc. Can someone tell me how to resolve this without calling Cox out which costs $50 each time?
