I tried that with a straight and a cross over cable. I can enable peer to peer on the monitor but the Sony Software is stuck in LAN and I can not activate the radio button next to peer to peer. This is true running on the vista lap top and the Windows 7 professional.
Forgive my network ignorance but the subnet masks match but not the subnets. My laptop is being assigned it's IP address through DCHP so I figure it's the Airport Extreme that is assigning the address. Would I deactivate the DCHP to do this wouldn't I? When I hooked the lap top directly to the monitor it had something like a 192.168.0.1 ish showing in the network adapter. It didn't seem to require a cross over cable, perhaps this is because the Sony monitor has a much more recent ethernet circuit that auto detects. I know in the past when I used this laptop directly connected into an Ensemble Legalizer unit I had to use a cross over cable.
I'll try the direct connection again and see what I can do to match the subnets. I wonder why the Sony monitor doesn't allow "000" in the 2nd group of address numbers from the left?
There really seems to be something basically screwy with the Sony Software in that I can't select Peer to Peer in it and I can't inter an IP address.
