If I am understanding you correctly, sounds to me like you are trying to use a crossover cable. Normally you are connecting to your GF's PC NIC to NIC? No HUB or switch, right? If so, then yes you are using a crossover cable.

LOL I wasn't assuming you were dumb, but I know alot of people that have have made that same mistake.

What kind of NIC do you have? Have you tried updated drivers?
