No crossover cable needed, just a normal Cat-5
1. Connect the ethernet cable between the QS's ethernet port and the
7300's ethernet port (or connect them both to a hub or switch)....
I do appreciate you taking the trouble. Before I start, do I
absolutely need to go buy a normal cable and not use what I
actually have (namely a lovely red crossover all connected and
ready for action) for your procedure?
No, you can use it. The G4 autosenses what kind of ethernet cable is
in use. The primary advanbtage of this is that you can use a regular
cable rather than a crossover one to connect two such connected
machines. But since you already have the pretty red one, go ahead and
use it.
The issue is the 7300 not seeing the network and not getting an IP
address, probably.
