Hi all, Do I need a hub to connect 2 computers using 10Base-T cabling together? Would a simple cable do? If I try it out, may I damage equipment? Thanks! Please reply by email. I will summarize. ===================================================== === Denis Beauchemin, === beauchem@DMI.USherb.CA === === Dir.

Pins 1&2 (pair 1) goes to pins 3&6 (pair2) on RJ45's (pins are numbered left to right when looking at the RJ45 head on with the Little Tabby Thingy down). <- tech term (-: -- John Robert Breeden, netcom!jbreeden@apple.com, apple!netcom!jbreeden, ATTMAIL:!jbreeden ------------------------------------------------------------------- "The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from.
