~pcwiz Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Would it be possible to use a crossover ethernet cable as a regular ethernet cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabe_ Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Yes... but you would have to cut off one end, and re-crimp it to be straight through: http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/ethernetcables.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westwaerts Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 depends on switch or router, most of the newer ones, detect the normal or crossover linking and set it up right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Yeah I have a tiny Linksys WRTG54-C Compact Wireless G Router. Worked out really easy, all I had to do was plug the cable in and everything was working instantly with no configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
