Re: [Fwd: Re: [AT] Help configuring AT with XP and Crossover Cable]

Yeah, the whole thing started because the router I'm on belongs to the
company, and I want to take the AT off of it. I thought this would be a
simple thing to do.

Yes, everything works fine if I plug both the PC and the AT into the
router.

Thanks for all the help.
