arfur mo Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 i used this website to make the crossover cable http://www.duxcw.com/digest/Howto/network/cable/cable5.htm and i brought a cat53 network cable from amazon you should be using the EIA/TIA 568B drawing, but trust me here crimping down RJ45 cables it is easy to accidentally cross over cables or get no connection at all on one or more cores, and this is down to either the user inexperience or the often cheapy crimping tool used. if you don't have the test kit you can buy a crossover pre built patch lead or a crossover built into an RJ45 to RJ45 through connector from maplins, then use 2 x standard pre made patch leads, and tbh i'd suggest this is the way for you to go. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

justin Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 There is proberbly a bit more to it. Assuming your physical connections have been made correctly. Have you setup the DVR software correctly, there will be a setup/configuration screen, display options etc. What DVR are you using? Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjonley Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Why? Because for a decent hub from PC World will cost you 50-100% more than other smaller suppliers. How do you think they subsidise all the TV adverts they have?
