I'm just curious, we made some cables in my A+ class (we took cables with no connectors, put wires in order and straigthened, then attached connector to in with crimper tool)Quote:

Here's what my cross over cable's wires look like:
|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|
|w|o|w|b|w|g|w|B| - First connector
|w|g|w|b|w|o|w|B| - Second connector
(w = white)(o = orange)(b = blue)(g = green)(B = brown)
The orange and green wires are "crossed"
Please remember that most cable manufactures tend to use their own color scheme.
If I were to switch the wires around accordingly before applying the connector would it then be a cross over cable, or would I get to much cross talk for the cable to be usable?

It is my understanding that as long as you switch those 2 wires, it becomes a cross over. But I'm not sure if there would be any loss in data integrity. I've never created a network cable, but I watched a friend of mine set the wires in the connectors.
As far as the diagram from my last post goes... I was looking at the connector from the bottom. That is, the tab is at the top and I was looking at the opposite side. Sorry, but I don't remember the pinout of the network cards. I need to go through my books again.

Windows even provides a method to set up internet connection sharing (ICS), check it out in creating a new network connection using my network places

yes, that is microsoft Internet connection sharing. You can run it from network places, network connections or the xp cd.Quote:
To use microsofts Internet Connection sharing, insert your windows XP disk, choose to perform additional tasks, share an internet connection, then use the wizard that opens to create a network disk, insert the network disk into the client computer and run it.
