That's usual behaviour when you plug a 10BaseT cable into a hub or device port. > repairs are expensive for these things (g3/333 bronze) Are you sure it's fried? Ethernet cables are isolated by transformer from the device electronics; those things are quite tough, actually. I'd be amazed if it were really fried. Also keep in mind it could be the other side that's fried.... Michel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel Lanners | " Read Philosophy.
