Question


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

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

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