the uplink port, funnily enough is crossed over internally... that's why it's called the uplink port. so you can use just pieces of normal cat5 and no crossover cables whatsoever. but if you're connecting a computer to a hub, why do you need a crossover cable in the first place?
but a crossover cable is what you need for pc-pc. not pc-hub-pc. ---------- From: Russ Gibson Sent: 20 February 2004 00:36 To: PCI PowerMacs Subject: Re: [PCI] 7200 probs. > Also, if you used a crossover cable to hook up a computer to another > computer, or two like devices, then why does it work when I hook my > comp to my switch with one? Are you connecting to the hub in the uplink port? If so, then it would work with a cross over cable, but not in the standard ports. --> Russ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
