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