rbw- I can't understand why you say this. On a non-autosensing switch
(which I assume LB has), the uplink port can connect to the dlink with a
straight-through cable .. or a "normal" port can connect to the dlink
with a crossover cable. Were you possibly assuming his setup didn't work
_because_ he had a crossover cable?
Probably my bad...
I was probably thinking of the situation I
always have where I am using the switch part of
a router and bypassing the WAN connector to
pass-through/bridge, etc, etc
Given that this is a real, regular, plain switch
I'm thinking the same as you all that is to
check layer 1 and 2 for good/bad cable and
proper crossover/button crossover on uplink
connector...

Or maybe I am out-of-whack here? Am I?
Trust me... It's ME!
