Just taking a shot here since I have something similiar at home (though using a Netgear hub and switch).
Is there buttons you can press to enable connections to another hub/switch (so that you don't have to use a crossover cable)? Is there an "uplink" port on each switch? Use the uplink port on both, and push the "uplink" button on *one* of the switches. If there's no uplink toggle switch, then I believe you have to use a crossover cable to connect the two switches together. Paul Greene On Tue, 12 Mar 2002, Rodolfo J.
