So as stupid as it sounds, maybe this will make it clearer or easier to
understand. I probably forgot to mention that I was feeding the UPLINK port
of the hub and I think any hub can use a crossover or straight through cable
for that right? Hub to hub?
So, when we have two hubs that are not stackable and no uplink ports, can we
link them? Yes, we use a crossover cable between the two normal ports and
walllaa, we have our two hub system. Now why can a person not use the
crossover cable to to the uplink port which is allowed and doesn't matter,
the hub has the built in auto sensor, I think most switches do (and I'm a
little freaked this cheap old thing does too) and then instead of making a
normal port to a normal port which is a NIC too, run crossover cable from
normal ports to NIC's? It makes perfect sense to me now. I hope you call
grasp it too now. And once again, thanks for the input. I'm not sure how I
get myself into these things, maybe it's a curse. One thing for sure, I'm
used to it.: )
