I recently bought equipment to hook up a cable modem to two pc's. I've linked up the nics to a router which is linked to the cable modem via a Patch cable supplied by comcast's Self installment pack. Is this cable also a Crossover cable? as that is what is required according to the Modems manual (comcasts pack shows this 'patch' cable as connecting the modem to the nic card and not the router as they don't provide instructions for linking 2 systems. I am thinking maybe the cable isn't right as after I called Comcast they said they will be sending signals to the modem to set things up. Friends who have done this say it only took half an hour and so far it's been half a day and one at a time the modem lights flash on and off and keep on going through the same pattern then all turning off and then the process repeats. Comcast did say to wait 72 hours but I'm thinking it should be done by now (compared to friends systems).
Thanks.....
