Re: Another noob can't connect to the net....
i have never heard of anyone intentionally using a crossover cable to connect a computer to a router. hell, many routers (like the one you mentioned) come with automatic detection so you can use whatever cable you feel like.
ive ran simple home networks a number of times and i have never once touched a crossover cable for anything other than computer to computer and occasionally router to router.
instead of trying to sort through your post (i cannot find any reference anywhere to e0/0, what is it supposed to be?), how about you just provide some kind of link. ive checked myself now, and the only time you use crossovers is between two switches (or hubs or whatever) and between two computers. since niether of those apply to the situation at hand, im wondering what you are on about.
