I have not. I am not sure what to check for. The DHCP works fine on the notebook (wireless). I also noticed that the "Cable Unplugged" bubble pops up occasionally. It goes away quickly and usually the IP is the same, but sometimes it changes.
I changed all the cables and have a cable tester. They all check out fine. Hmmm... If I disable DHCP and assign static IP's to both computers, that might work. Is there any reason I should not do this?
