be forewarned that using always cross-over cable connecting from your nic to
hub or switch will cause a no activity or malfunction to either your nic or
your hub/switch port... standard specification is that, you use
*straight-thru* cable connecting from your nic to hub/switch port unless
otherwise notified by your hub/switch vendor to use cross-over cable.
