You'd be connecting the "send" signal from one PC to the same wires/pins with the "send" signal on the other PC... And the "receive" pins on PC1 with the receive pins on PC2... So communication between them is not possible. In order for them to communicate, you have to cross the send and receive signals, so that each PC sends signals to the receive pins on the other.
There is more information on network cables here: http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=118
I have a question regarding connecting 2 Gb network adapators in 2 servers.
I understand that its best to use Cat 6 cables but is it nessacery to have a crossed cable to connect the 2 adaptors together. On one server is a Intel 82541EI Gigabit Ethernet NIC and the other is a Broadcom NetXtreme IITM 5708 Gigabit Ethernet NIC Thank you for helping. |
