I've searched through the forum, but can't find any answers to my problem.
I'm trying to connect to my Receptor via a crossover cable from a laptop that has a wireless internal card. Do I need to disable any wireless systems my laptop is trying to find?
I have not been able to get the receptor to stay in "Crossover" mode. It keeps going back to "Auto...".
Also, I was able to connect for a short time by connecting to my hub via a regular ethernet cable. I started to transfer some files, but they were taking almost 2 hours to transfer (EWQLSO Gold), so I thought maybe I should try to connect via the Crossover again.
When I was connected to my hub, I was able to get Receptor to stay in Crossover mode, but the minute I connect crossover cables, it reverts back to Auto.
Should I just unplug my dsl line all together? Is disabling them in my laptop enough?

hmm have you disabled Wireless Zero Configuration in Services? It will make all 802.11 adapters automatically configure. Depending on your setup this can mess up the mode..

I tried disabling the wireless zero configuration, and that didn't do anything.
For some reason I can't get Receptor to change from "Auto" mode, even if I reboot the Receptor with no cables attached.
I welcome any further suggestions. I didn't think this was going to be that difficult to get to work.

I have zone labs protection on my laptop, which I think might be the problem. It's described on plugorama.com. It says I need to chang the "ICS" configuration.
I can get to that area, but not sure if I should be selecting "This computer is a client of an ICS/NAT gateway" OR "This computer is an ICS?NAT gateway".
In any case, if I click either option, it asks me for the IP address of the ICS gateway. Should the IP address of the Receptor go in there?
