http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable#Automatic_crossoveri have a blue T568B wired connectors cable for 100BASE-TX
I want to report successful DIRECT connection between two PC, using just an ordinary network cable. (i used my PC to router NIC blue cable for test); Then I checked two times more, with one black cable, then with another white cable, it works
It seems that the if the cable is ordinary new generation 5E then it has ALL 8 internal wire correct linked to plugins, OR both my laptop NIC cards are smart enough to cross connect
- the white cable has only pins 1,2,3 and 6 linked, and still works;
Then I use tftp service...
