I dont have a router, and I just tried to shut down both pc's and use a crossover and a normal ethernet lead in the modem to my pc and it would NOT get a ip addy no matter how I tried.

I find Ethernet is over complex and just annoys me with the problems hence why I like usb its simple and once done I dont get annoying 169 addys...

How do I network it into my pc? I have both types of ethernet lead.
