Local Area Connection details on Network Connections folder
3. When the crossover cable hasn't been connected to your computers,
the Details pane of the Local Area Connection on Network Connections folder indicates that the network cable is unplugged.
You will see the same status, if you use a wrong cable (i.e. a straight-through
cable or a cable which is crossed incorrectly)
or if your cable's RJ-45 connectors aren't firmly connected to the Ethernet ports.
