Most times, you need to use a dedicated tester to be sure. What do you do if you have both Cat 5e & Cat 6 cables? It's simple, choose DSE network cables. black boots = patch lead red boots = crossover cable. what colour are the parts that wrap around the connector? the 'boots' |

| 268894 | 2004-09-03 09:50:00 | Top Plug two network cards together directly usually it may require a crossover cable, as it stands it looks like you may have a straight through cable and not a cross over one. You can check the pin arrangement but if this is correct you may want to ask if you can swap it, hold on to it for later use, sell it or otherwise utilise it |

| 268896 | 2004-09-03 22:07:00 | You can get a simple extention which turns a straight cable into a crossover. About 250mm long and my one reads "Cat 5E Patch Cable FT4 - Eltop Electronics 350Mhz". Think I got it from InHouse Computers in Palmerston North. Don't use it now as I've got two computers and a Digital Colour Copier connected through a hub. The LAN hubs have their own crossover wiring inside and you have to use a straight cable with them. Ken |

| 268897 | 2004-09-04 04:22:00 | I noticed some of the newer hubs at some stores allow you to either run straight through or crossover on all ports :-) | Captive (3159) | ||
| 268898 | 2004-09-04 07:32:00 | I went to Dicksmith today and managed to change it. It works perfectly now. Thanks alot |

| 268899 | 2004-09-04 07:40:00 | kewl :-) Try to look at doing some security as well. There is probably different degrees needed for different scenarios e.g. something to secure a military facility, an enterprise, or your average joe blogs machine. Here is a basic article: www.creightonbrown.geek.nz Security_Hazards.asp (www.creightonbrown.geek.nz) Although the more articles you look at potentially the more info |
