A is the current acceptable standard for most runs and I will conquer with everyone else here that the cable runs should be straight thru. Usually you only need crossover if you are connecting similar devices together.. like hub-to-hub or pc-to-pc. That being said, most equipment nowadays is auto sensing and should allow you to use either.
I am sure if you need help getting anything hooked up, there are many folks (myself included) who could be bribed to give you a hand...for a small fee ...(mmmm beer...the solution to and the cause of all life's problems!) :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Scott McNab > Sent: July 4, 2004 8:03 PM > To: CLUG General > Subject: Re: [clug-talk] OT: Network Wiring > > > You should pull the covers and check the wiring.
