You need an actual cross over cable. If you hold both ends of the cable up with the clips in the same direction and look at the colors of each wire in the RJ45 connector you will see, in a cross over cable, that they are not in the same order. In a patch cable or regular cable they will be the same. -- Scot L. Harris <webid@xxxxxxxxxx>
