Thanks in advance

If you are plugging in from a port on your switch to a port on another switch (not an uplink port), you need to use a cross.

Just an FYI, we started buying some cheap TrendNet 8-port switches at work, and they'll use either...auto-senses the wiring standard used and adjusts. Not bad stuff for around $20.

yeah, most switches autosense now
