If your switch is not crossover auto-sensing, try switching the (usually one) uplink port to crossover and see what you can find. Alternative, buy a $10 multimeter and check each one by hand. Wall patchings should be straight through. BB -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
