I am using a crossover line to connect two computers. I received a cable unplugged message. I installed a new PCI fast ethernet connection and I am getting the same message and a code 10 error.

I have two ethernet adapters on my computer.  One connected to the cable modem and the other connected to another computer using a crossover line.  I recently had new cable service installed and and then I tried connecting to another computer.  I kept receiving a message cable unplugged.  I tried changing the duplex etc and still nothing.  Change PCI slots and still received the same error.  I purchased a D-Link fast network adapter.  I am still receiving a message cable unplugged.  In addition I have a code 10 error associated with the new network adapter.

I want to share files between computers and I can't do that with a route.  The crossover line worked fine.  I had a new cable line installed and now I get a message network cable unplugged.  The internet connection to the cable model will work with either ethernet connector.  The crossover line will not work. How do I share files with a router?

I bought a new crossover line and get the same results.  Even without any line the connection should show yellow not a red x.
