on the subject of crossover cables, do you know where you can get
adapters that go on the end of normal patch cables to convert them
to crossover?
The reason i ask is because i only want to carry one network cable in
laptop bag but would be useful to have a crossover cable sometimes..
This sounds like a do-it-yourself job. Take about six inches of cat-5, put a regular connector on one end and a female connector on the other. Switch the wires on either one end or the other to make it crossover.
yeah, need to smile at someone who has crimpers :-)
