Re: CAT5 Cabling - Heeellpp

["Andy Powell" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Interestingly enough, I've removed the switch at one end (swapped it with
another) which also gives the same problem...
Swapped the other switch out - same problem...

However, if I remove the switch at one end completely and plug in a laptop
if works fine...plug in a DDAR, works fine

What's going on????
