Today I was walking between my tow computers and tripped over my netowork crossover cable, now my network no longer works, yet the cable seems OK. I think I have either screwed the cable by snapping a wire ooooor I have messed up the connections on one of my network cards, overall, not a good thing, the network info. shows that they are sending and recieving informaton between each other BUT file/printer sharing etc. doesn't work.
Any Ideas??

I presume you have tried unplugging and plugging in the cables again and then restarting both machines?
Well,i think its broken. the same thing happened to my brother,he tripped over it,he just got a new network card. it should do the trick,wouldnt bother to get it repaired. waste of money
Yeah you could have bent one of the pins or connections within the NICs.
Could check the PCI connection of the network card inside the PC, that may have come loose.
Can the computers ping each other?

hmmm tripping over shouldnt do much but move the cable out of position but not mess up the PCI card. Just get ur ISP tech over..

One computer can ping the other, but the second computer can't ping the first one, I thing I've scragged the onboard LAN. Yes I've tried re-plugging in the cable and restartting with no-luck. Will check the pins later, I'm pretty sure its one of the NICs now and not the cable. :(
