I'll have to fashion myself a CAT-6 crossover to eliminate the switch from the equation.)
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.
Thanks. I'm going to test on a couple other networks and systems available to me, as well. I, too, am normally sitting behind a 100Mbps secondary switch on this segment of the LAN or going wireless. However, the native B57 NDIS2 driver dropped off to under 500bps (that's bits, not Bytes!) vs GenMAC running the NDIS5 driver (without IJFW and IPX on the wire).Has anyone else seen this type of performance hit cuased by the TAP driver?
No, but my switch, and router, only run at 100 Mbs, so I may not have
noticed a speed reduction. I will see if I can hook it direct from my
desktop to my T43, and see what happens (may be tomorrow, before I get
a chance).
