Re: two machines, one ethernet drop

run another cable (:

ok, just kidding...  I am going to make an assumption that your hub is uplinked
to
another hub somewhere.  If this is the case, does the boca hub have an uplink
port?
If so, then you need to make sure that the drop that you have is pluggged in the
uplink
port and that the uplink port is saying that it is uplinked.  If the boca hub
DOES NOT
have an uplink port then you need a cross over.  For a more detailed explanation

you can call me @ 215 735 7200 (my office) and ask for bob ski.
