Any ideas on what I can do about it?
What kind of Powerbook do you have? also, have you check to see if this is a crossover cable or what port are you plugging into? Is it the Uplink port? I haven't had a problem with my ABS plugged into any port because it has (like all Macs made after 1999) an auto-sensing port which not only determines the network speed but if it should be an uplink or straight-through port. Good luck finding that on a PC. -- Ryan Coleman System Administrator LEMLists.com Get your email account at lemlists.com for $6/year!
