LOL @ Kingsley, finally someone understands 
Chris: Well, maybe my campus' network uses that smart "autosensing" switch or something because the same cross-over cable I use to connect between my friend is the one I use to connect to the ethernet port in my room.
Sigh, I do wish that the networking experience was more consistent since products are getting smarter and smarter. For now, its more like plug and pray

quick question:
i recently bought a 20" intel imac for our home.. prior to this i had been using a powerbook and airport express..
after some researching i found that i could connect the imac to the internet and share to the powerbook, freeing the AX to stream music to the stereo [previously i would have to switch the AX back and forth depending on what i wanted to do, but not both [stereo too far away]]..
my problem is that when bootcamped into windows i am having trouble getting xp to connect or create a network with the inbuilt wireless card..
i'm just trying to work out whether something which is so simple to set up on mac [after i worked out how to set up the AX] is possible in xp [so my wife can surf while i have to work in windows].. or do i require a wireless router? or is there some hardware conflict somewhere that hasn't been ironed out yet?
not really really angry, just kinda annoyed
