that's exactly the reason why we do not recommend using a crossover cable: link
negotiation. use instead another VLAN or a hub.
the problem is, if you connect an end station to the PIX using a crossover, it
sometimes work, sometimes not, and you end with a problem you don't know if it's a
hardware or configuration one . . . .
