If you're going from port 1 to port 1 you need a x-over cable. If you can't
find one, they are easy to make if you're a little handy w/ stripping &
retieing wire.
I have an SMC hub that actually has a x-over port so you can use a patch (str8
thru) cable from one hub to another, which is nice.
If you need a wiring diagram, let me know and I'll scan it in and send it.
That, or I'm sure you can find it online.
