They are powered and if you go from your computers ethernet out to a switch and then to the machine, you don't need a crossover cable. However, it's probably cheaper just to get the crossover cable :) Even the cheapest 10/100 switches usually run $25-30 bucks. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
