Are you sure it's Ethernet at your friend's hostel? Maybe it's ISDN or something?? Someone will correct me if that's a dumb statement. :-) If it was Ethernet, the only way it could have worked is if the second pair happened to go to another switch port. You can't turn one switch port into two simply by splitting the cable. As Chuck said, buy a hub. A 4-port hub is really cheap (at least in the U.S!? ;-) Priscilla > However, I did the same > thing to my > switch port to make it one switch port to two ports but my PCs > that > connected to the two ports can't connect to the network at > all.
