really?? sorry this "warning:" is very new to me, to be exact this is the first time i heard of such thing, can you give a url or anything that would support this malfunction . i dont see any logical reason for this mulfunction but please do give a url/documents or anything that would support this.. 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. you don't use cross over cable's if you don't need them but there are some "occasions" that you should like connecting two pc's without a hub or even sometimes connecting to routers -Dek [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > fooler. > > _ > Philippine Linux Users Group.
