Re: Network Problem



Hi

OK, so, I've a lot of cable, and I'm pretty sure the used cable is a
cross-over. But, error is human, isn't it ? So, on my cable I can see
"CAT. 5 UTP 24 AWG 4PAIRS". So, 4PAIRS is for a cross-over cable, isn't
it ?

For the rest, I want to backup my laptop on my desktop. I want to use a
single FTP connection. Maybe, I'll set up NFS.

Thanks in advance,

Manu
