It is defo a crossover cable and have used it to connect two machines which do not auto-detect and get them to talk. Have tried connecting both of these machines (one is a Dell laptop, the other is a Linux box with old Netgear card) individually to the SB2 to bridge and neither works. As I say, the 'LINK' light on whatever you plug into SB2 comes on with this cable. With a standard cable it does not (yes, I tried a standard cable too just to be sure the doco really meant crossover). -- raintonr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ raintonr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1023 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30375 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
