my understanding is that the two signal pairs need to reverse, so they match up with the right pins on the other side. This is called a crossover cable. Most patch cables, as labeled by fry's/etc, are straight through connections. My advice would be to buy a cheap hub and make your life easier, since the hub will take regular cabling, and give you lots of blinking leds to tell you what's going on :) -Gabe _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
