Hello,

You said you have set the local area connection IP to 192.168.0.90. Do you mean the laptop's actual ethernet adapter has been set to this, or do you mean to say you have had the camera configured to this IP? That's the default IP of the camera, so setting your computer to the same IP causes a conflict, and neither will be able to communicate with the other. If you wish to work on the camera, the best solution will be to disable wireless and set the ethernet adapter to the IP of 192.168.0.90. They will need to be on the same subnet (that is, if subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0 in network settings, you have all the first 3 octets in the IP set the same for camera/computer ethernet adapter). Another choice is to hook the camera into your _home_ router, but this will only work if your router assigns IPs in the 192.168.0.* area as well, and the .90 address is not already in use.

Also, when connected to your laptop, a crossover cable isn't complete necessary, although it won't hurt anything - the ports on modern laptops are smart "auto-sensing" and can adapt.
