yes thanks for that tip I did some testing today, a crossover cable
works regardless of whether speed and duplex are auto or 100/full
however if you have a straight through between two switches then you
have to have set to auto auto. for some reason people like to use
straight throughs between switches.. because on cisco's it doesnt
matter.. (not me though)
