O.P.  Home network problem
my cousin wants to setup a home network with his laptop and pc. he asked me to sort it out for him but im running into a bit of trouble.
i have run the wizards on both machines giving them their roles (host and client) but in the Network Connections Window, the network adapters on both the laptop and pc say its unplugged. the lights by the network ports arnt flashing.
Also on both systems, in the Device Manager, in Other Devices theres something called a PCI Simple Communications Controller. i googled and no luck

CPU - AMD Athlon 1.04Ghz
