Hi all,
I have a network with two computers connected to the base
station. I would like to add a Linksys Powerline network
bridge so I can connect a computer that is only
accessible by a powerline. The Linksys product setup
guide says I need regular CAT-5 cable to connect if my
Microsoft base station has an uplink port or else I need
a crossover cable to connect to a regular LAN port on my
base station.
I do not have a crossover cable right now and so was
hoping you could tell me if one of the four ports on my
Microsoft base station is considered an uplink port? If
not i will have to drive 50 miles tomorrow to get a
crossover cable.
thanks
