[juneau-lug] Re: CAT5 cable..

you will need a crossover cable if you are going from computer to computer,
cat 5 if you have hub.  i know they make a tester for cat5 cables.  could
use a ohm meter but the conections are kinda small.  hope that helps.

Subject: [juneau-lug] CAT5 cable..



I'm trying to set up a Win98 box to access the internet
through my Linux box.  I believe I have all software settings
correct but cannot ping either box from the other and no
lights show on either box's network card.  They are connected
with a straight-through CAT5 cable.  Should I be using
cross-over?  Also could someone point me to some info on
testing CAT5 cable?  Can it be tested with a common
multi-tester?
