OK. Progress is being made. I have just connected up using an 8-wire
cable between the router and the ethernet socket on the desktop, but
still no joy.
The 8-wire cable heads when laid side by side show the wires to be in
the same order at both ends. And the cable has written on it:
"UTP Patch cord 26AWG 4P ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA 568 CATS".
Is this the wrong cable?
