Hi all

I have 2 pcs I need to connect, Im using a hub at the moment and it has to go back to work.

I figure all I really need is a crossover cable. I have a bog standard cable that is long enuff for the job, but ofcourse I need a crossover cable.

does anyone know of a dongley thing I can plop on the end of the cable to convert it. Im sure Ive seen them, I just cant remember where??

cheers

Andy

 

You could try making one. See here.

PC World sell 'em for about £7. A bit hidden away tho'

 

Get a crimper n make your own

 

I've been in IT too long and cannot be arsed!

 

Pc World? They must have lied to me, they said they didnt have any!

 

Make your own

 

Wanna buy an Intel In-Business 10mbs switch (yes switch not hub)? 8x RJ45 & 1x BNC.

Sitting around in my house doing not a lot - but saying that, I'll probably need it if sold

 

Thanks anyway, but the budget for this project is about a 5 er.

 

btt for the weekday people

 

£1.99 from http://www.solwise.co.uk/networking_sundries.htm

 

IIRC, my crossover from PC World was £7.99. I wouldn't believe anything PC World tells me
