If you are trying to get two 10/100 boards to connect at 100 Mb using a x-over cable, it will not negotiate faster than 10 Mb. It requires a hub to initiate that. 10/100 Mb full duplex is just a matter of having a cable with 1&2 -> 1&2, 3&6 -> 3&6, 4&5 -> 4&5, and 7&8 -> 7&8, and a hub that supports it. At 10 Mb, a crossover cable will get you your 10+10=20, but again not 100+100=200. I hope this helps. Regards, Andrew On 3 Jan 2003 at 9:42, Simon Brown wrote: > Hi..
