Ive installed a 3Com EtherLink 10/100 PCI For Complete PC Management NIC (3C905C-TX) #2 in my pc. I have a Cat 5 crossover cable from the network card to my DB7000. I have configured the ip addresses as this tutorial

The network card is apparently working fine in xp pro but I get an red X through the connection icon in the taskbar. It says a cable is unplugged. Now I swiped the card and cable from a box full of pc junk at work so either one could be knackered or I could be doing something wrong? I thought I better ask before I waste anymore time
