Ethernet question...


Recommended Posts

Hi, my first post on neowin, be gentle :D

I'm about to set up a network at home with two PC's, using a cheap switch (want to be able to add a 3rd PC at some point).

My problem is this: I only have one patch cable, the other length is crossover. If I hook one PC up to the switch with patch and one with crossover, will it work?

nope, via a Switch you need Patch Cables. via two pc's you need Crossovers.

Go get your self another patch cable or you can attempt to convert that crossover into patch cable ;)
