-BEGIN QUOTED MATERIAL--
The OP was asking about needing a crossover cable. Lots of people also
refer to that as auto-sensing. According to Apple's document 42717, the
Pismo would need a crossover. The TiBook and later doesn't. Here's a
list: http://docs.info.apple.com/arti
The early Ti G4s have an auto-sensing 10/100 Base-T, PHY interface IC/Auto-MDIX
Ethernet port that will switch from straight to crossover when it is plugged into
another Mac likewise equipped.
The Pismo;s Ethernet port is auto-sensing 10/100 Base-T but not Auto-MDIX.

That's Auto-MDIX, which lets a machine automatically switch between
straight-through and crossover modes. AFAI

Hi, I think most "modern" macs will "sense" between a crossover cable
or a standard ethernet cable, therefor either may be used without a
hub/switch/e

My Pismo has an auto-sensing Ethernet card.
Auto-sense means the card will automatically adjust for a 10 million
bits per second or a 100 million bits per second connection. The other
end of the connection (a fixed speed hub; an auto-sensing or fixed
speed switch interface; a fixed speed route

hi brian,
i have a pismo, sold 2001 in germany, and it
is auto-sensing. definitely.

If you don't know what I mean by auto-sensing, I mean can it set up
an ethernet network to another Mac without a hub, switch or router -
by use of an ethernet cable only - and it does
