kiki_zg Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hi!I got two computers, when I shut down one of them win tell me 'cable unplugged'. This occurs cause on one computer there is an old AT power switch (so I don't put network adapter into standby mode, but I shut it down completely).Can this situation be somehow ignored, so that network will still work if I shut down one of my computers. Maybe with some modified driver... suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringfinger Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Are you sharing an internet connection through ICS on the computer your connedcted to with a X-over? Is this why it's a problem when the other computer is off? If this is the case, why not do like the other have said and use a switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
