Thanks the reply Mark. Yes, I thought of the cross-over/patch cable. I have tried other cables, will track down a cross-over. The laptop connected OK though with a patch cable(it might have auto-switching already). The ethernet light on the bridge shows connectivity with the SB3 plugged into it, so I suspect that this is not the issue.
Unless anyone has had success, I think the best thing is to take offers on the SB3 as you suggest ...
