Hi listers, Many of the new switches (Netgear, for example) come with all the ports that auto-uplink. So it really doesn't matter what cable you use, so long as it is not broken, it will work.
-------------------- Now, as for the original question regarding this post. I had a very similar problem on a couple of macs (a 6300 and a 5200) with a brand new Sonic card [yes I know these are not PCI macs], but it was a busted OS install. After fiddling around with all sorts of things, I gave up and installed 8.5 clean and they worked a treat. Is that something you could consider?
