I never tried to network 2 computers directly without router, but my guess is that you should use a crossover cable as opposed to a normal one. That may fix your problem, but not completely sure.

For now, try setting the adapter for each computer to auto-negotiate and see what happens.

First welcome to Sevenforums.

Is the cable Cat 5 or Cat 6? how do you switch between speeds? We could help you more if you filled out your "my system specs" in user CP
