noob networking 101 class....
Figured out that I needed a cross-over cable to connect "box to box" (HTPC -> UnRaid) instead of HTPC -> Router -> UnRaid (currently this works just fine).
But still stumped. HTPC is 10.0.0.11 IP class and UnRaid is set (statically) to 10.0.0.7
I heard that more modern NIC cards can "auto" detect cross-over vs non cross-over cables but already tried that. What am I doing wrong?
HTPC is Win 7 64 bit with Unraid as the other "box". I want to connect "box to box" WITHOUT using a router/hub/switch/etc....
Is this possible?
Thanks for the help
