I have a small ethernet network here at home and there's one bit
[hubby] driving me to distraction. Everything working fine... performa
5400/180 8.6, iMac 333 9.1, G4 powerbook 867 10.3.9 and last iMac 450
10.3.9.
Unplug the 450 iMac and plug in iBook 700 10.4 and nothing, no
ethernet connection. Could it be the plug in bit? Not sure so do what
should have been done a while ago and get a wall socket, cut the end
off and wire up... still nothing and now the iMac not connecting
either. I'm tearing my hair out but still manage to ask him sweetly if
he's sure he's wired the wall socket correctly...... apparently
there's two wiring diagrams A and B and he's done A, perhaps he should
try B?
B done and now the imac is back on board but still nothing from the
laptop, time for drastic measures so up he comes to my office and the
spare network cable i have here, plugs it in and instant connection.
He goes to the room where the 333 iMac is unplugs it plugs his laptop
in and connects again. So it is back to his desk, unplugs his iMac and
tries the laptop again and again nothing?
Any suggestions anyone? PLEASE...

OK this is a fun one :)
First off, what hub are you using, make sure you are not using both a
port and the uplink port next to it ;) (some share uplink with the
lowest port # and some the highest port #, but in any case uplink port
and the port it shares with are NEXT TO EACH OTHER (the number of faults
I have been to where BOTH are trying to be used)
Second, make sure that NONE of the leads are cross over types. The lead
for computer to HUB are ALL STRAIGHT THROUGH !!!!!
Does the leds on the hub dim when you plug things in ?? (if so the PSU
may be failing) Have you tried another hub ?
