You can only use an crossover cable for one pc to another pc. You can not use it for pc to hub or switch. You can not use crossover cable in LAN environment. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Fabio Yasusi Yamamoto Sent: Saturday, July 06, 2002 9:44 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: OFF: My Intel EtherExpress only works on direct cross connection. Hi. This is not a FreeBSD specific. I'm having strange problems in my Intel EtherExpress 100 network card. FOr some reason, it only work when i use a direct conection using a cross cable to another computer. If i try to use a switch or hub. This card is unable to receive any packets ( but is capable of send ). So. i can send a arp request, but unable to receive the answer. The remote computers ( 3com/sis/realtek ), the cable( cat5 cross and single ), and the switch( and hub ) are ok. I'm really confused. i can imagine why it works on direct cross connection, but when i try to use a hub using cross and normal cat5 cable, i can't receive any packets. ( ifconfig/sniffers show 0 packets RX ). Can someone help me?
