You need a crossover to
"talk" NIC to E0. The only time you would use a patch cable, is when
you connect the router/ PC to a switch/ hub. I "personally" know when
to use each cable (I even know the pinouts), but I'm not sure if I
could clearly explain to you why this is. I can promise you this, knowing
the engineering of that Ethernet transceiver & it's data exchange on that
RJ45 pinout will not change the paycheck you get this Friday :-)
Good Luck
!!!
