I have a dsl connection coming in to my home. The dsl line will go into the modem then the ethernet connection on back of the modem will go straight to my hub and was able to share the connection will other pc's on my lan, but now im using a cisco 2924 switch and when i try to connect the modem ethernet port to the switch i get no activation lights at all. I try straight and crossover cable's but no luck. Is there something I need to enable on the switch to make it work. I got my hub to work by enabling mdix button which work fine, please help, thanks.

2924 Switch to ADSL Modem

Some DSL providers bind the computer's MAC address to the service but I always thought that was at a higher layer. Will your hub make a connection to the same switchport? Try fiddling with the speed/duplex settings.

What kind of DSL modem are you using, I've had problems with the voltage comming out of my Fujitsu/Orckit modems, high quality network equipment will not link directly. Try pluging the modem ---> Hub ---> 2924 and if that works its probably the port on your DSL modem. Try replacing the modem with another or if you are useing a Alcatel/ATM bassed DSLM then use a cisco modem.
