With the wrapping of the lines I was afraid that a bit of confusion might happen. Okay, here we go: From the DNBX I run a short piece of thin coax to one of those small 5 port hubs which has a thin net connection on the back. From one of the UTP connections on the hub I go to a utp to fibre converter. Now we're on fibre and go anyware we like, distance wise sort of. On the WP end I unplugged the aui connection from the ST500 (thick to aui converter) and connected the aui cable to the fibre converter. Circuit completed. We have lift off. All could have been a bit simpler with a 'thick to fibre' converter near the DNBX but we didn't have one . I'm actually not sure if they exist. Well, that's our solution to this very nagging DNBX problem. Cheers, Frits Schouten.

I did not quite understand your diagram. Thanks in advance!
