I need some networking information quickly. I just remodeled my home and
had the electricians put heavy wiring from my upstairs office to where I
want to have my portable downstairs.
To date, I have only used appletalk to connect the machines and I want
to upgrade to ethernet. I generally know that what I need is a
"crossover" connection from one machine to another. That crossover cable
will be the long wire running upstairs.
Both machines will have 10/100 Base T ethernet (I have yet to get the
card for my desktop mac).
The electrician wants to know what jack to install (RJ45?) and how to
wire it as a crossover cable.
Anyone done this? Or know of a good site that will walk us through it?
Thanks in advance!
