I have 4 systems on a network, all with 10/100 cards and a 10 hub (for now). I am having problems with the wiring. I made up some 568b cables and the network can't see each other.

Does the 568B need a full 100 network to work? <p>R & G Computers<br><a href=mailto:rafales@carnegienet.net>rafales@carnegienet.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
