My daughter, who is now 4th year there, tells me that you will need a crimping tool. You will need to remove only the outer cover (leave the colored insulation on the inner wires), line the wires up according to the color sequence you need, and insert into the connector properly aligned. A steady pressure on the crimping tool will clamp the connector into the wires, which becomes bared as you crimp. If you don't have any experience doing this, it is best if someone else can do it for you. I always have a cross-over cable in my bag, so that I can connect the laptop to our big lan at work, or our small lan at home. PMana _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
