Setting up a basic ethernet

by capa . Updated 20 years, 4 months ago

I have a PC (XT) system with an ethernet port. I recently purchased a laptop (XT) system with an ethernet port. When I bought the laptop, I asked what I needed to do to connect it to my PC. The salesman said all I needed was to connect a twisted ethernet cable and then run the network wizards on both systems. I have done that with no useful results. Each system says there is a network but they don’t talk to each other. What am I missing?
Thanks, Carl
