[Gloucs] Switch for ADSL modem/router

[Tim Ballam]

Normaly the port on the back of the router will plug directly into the
switch, the only time you require a "cross over is when you connect directly
to a network card.

Subject: [Gloucs] Switch for ADSL modem/router


Hi

Can anyone help me with a switch question
- I've been searching online infos for hours

With an ethernet switch can any port
be attached to my ADSL modem/router
or does it need to be a special switch?

I've read about DMI-X, and uplink ports.

I have a straight>crossover adapter.
(A short wire with socket at end).

regards,
John McKeown
