torkellMemo to self: when testing infrastructure CAT5, it is vitally important that the cable you use is *not* a crossover.
On a related note, the two sockets I put in today have labels stuck on them containg "CROSSOVER LINK" and a couple of exclamation marks.

At one point, I made a habit of coloring the jacket at the ends of my crossover patches black with a shaprie, so I could tell at a glance if it was a crossover or not.
Since I built my crossover hub and cover stub, though, I don't do that.
