Just guessing, but could they require a crossover cable when both are forced? According to Wikipedia Auto-MDIX requires the speed and duplex setting to be set to auto. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-MDIX On Sat, Jun 5, 2010 at 12:58 PM, Greg Ihnen os10ru...@gmail.com wrote: I have a

Actually no. Turns out that's the port that has nothing else but the POE injector connected. The search goes on. Greg On Jun 5, 2010, at 4:27 PM, Michael Baird wrote: Sounds like you found the issue. Regards Michael Baird I started using ethtool and backing up through the chain of gear

I just did some tests with my setup (radio, router, laptop). It ONLY likes the port set to AUTO. Anything else causes it to disconnect or act flaky. You might still need the crossover though as I didnt test between 2 radios. Of course you could use a switch if no crossover is available. On Sat,

If need be, since you have low supply of connectors, if you have any bad patch cables, cut, cross the tx/rx and splice it just to test. Any true wire geek never throws bad patch away. :) Bob- -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On
