Oh, you will!=:o) That leaves only the mac addresses to work on. Easiest is that once you've identified which is green and which is red (and/or orange)is to mark it as such, with a marker (or nail-polish=:o)). That way you'll be able to recognize 'em on the outside, even if you do fry your brains in the future=:o) Or scavenge an old 10M somewhere, nobody wants to use 'm anymore. They're dirtcheap (even free sometimes) nowadays. Download speeds surpassing 10M isn't a hand for a long time to come so you'll never notice. Good luck, HarM
