Most modern switches, and NICs, will automatically reverse the wiring,
if they think you might be using the wrong cable. Just try a normal
cable.

No, but my switch, and router, only run at 100 Mbs, so I may not have

desktop to my T43, and see what happens (may be tomorrow, before I get
a chance).
