[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 162930, member: 176912"] Think of your Dreambox as another computer, which it is. To connect two computers together directly, you will need a crossover cable. To link two computers together via a hub or switch, you will need two patch cables. The two cable types look identical. The only difference is that the wires are 'crossed over' inside the crossover cable. Most hubs and switches these days can actually use either the standard 'patch' lead (straight through) or a 'crossover' cable, as they automatically detect which one is connected and logically 'switch' the connections internally. Hope this is clear. [/QUOTE]
