I got a quick question, I'm setting up a small network in my house with a hub, 4 computers and an internet connection. I'm gonna run the connection into one eth0 and from eth1 to the hub with the rest of the computers. My question is about the cables though. When hooking the DSL modem to the computer you use a crossover cable, when hooking it to a hub, you use the straight thru cable. Now, what if you run the DSL to eth0 and from eth1 to the hub, would I use the crossover on the DSL still, or would I use the straight thru since all those on the hub are straight thru? -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - www.primenet.com/~tomas SuSE Linux v6.3+ - Kernel 2.2.14 *** System shutdown message from root *** System going down in 60 seconds -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Just work from device to device and you should be fine. I have the same setup here. Use straight through cables for both. Also when connecting to the hub from the first computer you should not set the port as an uplink port (if yours has a setting. . .mine has a special port for that that I don't use) just a regular port. You would only use that if you went from the DSL modem straight to the hub. Hope I got that all right there. . .I'm a little tired. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.

Regular always with a hub. Crossover for two only computers. "S.Toms" wrote:

If its anything like a cable modem, then you would need two straight through cables, but I'm not sure. Victor On Thu, 10 Feb 2000, S.Toms wrote:
