* Static IP (Windows) : In Windows XP SP2 select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections. Right click on Local Area Connections, select the properties for “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”. “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically” must be selected unless you are using Receptor in manual IP mode.
* Bad cable: Incorrect Crossover cable: An ethernet crossover cable is a type of network cable used to connect computing devices together directly where they would normally be connected via a network switch, hub or router. (For example, you would use a crossover cable to directly connect two personal computers via their network adapters.)
