It won't actually say on the cable that it is a cross-over cable... If you aren't sure, then yes you probably have a normal cat-5 cable. :) With normal cabling, you need a hub or switch to route the signals... Unless you have a spiffy g4 powerbook which automatically senses it is plugged into a comp. If youdon't have access to one, walk into any computer store (compusa, local, maybe even staples or best buy) and tell them you need a cross-over ethernet cable and they'll know exactly what you need. Will probably cost between $7-12. -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
