Ok, so then the cable from the server to the hub and from the hub to the
client must be of the same type. Straight. But then howcome when i plug the
cables i have (all it says on them is cat-5 Enhanced UTP) from the hub to the
clients they work, but from the server to the client they don't. but from the
router to the hub they DO work.
am i making sence?
i'll ascii it (atempt to)
scenario 1 (works):
router
|
hub
| | |

|
client
scenario 2 (doesn't work):
router
|
server
|
hub
| | |
client computer 2 computer 3
