All,
I have the following setup:
DSL Modem (Linksys BEFSR41 ver2 4-Port router)
|
| <-- Straight-through cable
|
Router (WAN Port)
Router (LAN Port)
| |
| |---------- Computer
|
| <-- Straight-through cable
|
3Com Superstack II (Hub)
| |
| |-----Computer
|
Computer
I'm not sure where the problem is related so I'm hitting this forum and the LinkSys forum also.
The problem is when I connect the cable from the router to the 3Com hub I get no light indicator and of course no signal either. I've used a straight-through & cross-over cable plugged into the UpLink and regular ports in the router in case I was missing something there also. I have tested all cables, connections, etc. individually but can't for the life of me figure out the problem. I have also replaced the 3Com with other brands, etc. to no avail. If I pull out the hub and use just a straight-through in a regular port then I can hit everything fine so it has something to do with the connection between the two devices.
Is there something I'm missing here? I know it's going to be so very basic, so be gentle on me if you see it as plain as day. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
