Re: [off-topic] cabling problems

Hi

Sounds to me it is a cable problem. Check with a other shorter cable if the
pc and router do communicate. If so then use the long cable again. I think
maybe you made a mistake with the hook up of the connectors. I have sees
guru's making mistakes with the pairs.

Good luck and let us know how you fixed it .
