Does the "8" port hub have 9 ports or 9 connectors. There are two ways to handle using one port for either normal connections or uplinks. The first is a switch, usually placed near the connector and indentified somehow. The second is a second connector for the uplink port with the required swapping of pairs. You can use either the uplink port or the normal port but not both. Check your link lights, that will tell you how many ports you have. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
