[QUOTE="Riverside, post: 565141, member: 44862"] [b]Right... but,[/b] Yes you are correct. You don't need two cables to connect to the Internet. If you look closely at my first post, you'll see the Internet connection was not the problem. However, I did leave out he important detail that I was trying to connect to a work group. That requires two cables on this machine anyway. Theoretically, you can get on with one, but visibility is only one way with one cable. In other words, I may be able to see the rest of the group, but they can't see me. If I switch the plug, the opposite is true. With two cables, the work group functions normally, with two way visibility. I've never seen it before either. I suppose it's supposed to speeds things up. I haven't looked at how it worked on the OS X side, but that's definitely how it works on the Windows side. [/QUOTE]
