Are the ethernet ports on SOHO modems hardwired as MDI-X? Or are they auto-sensing?

I know most of the soho stuff over the last 5 years I have seen is auto sensing but I would check documentation on the particular item.

But normally, if not auto-sensing, they would be MDI-X, correct?

Trying to solve a problem a friend of mine has(remotely,

). He has his Playstation 3 hooked directly into his modem and can't get a connection(no link light).

I believe most are auto sensing but again if you can get a model and check documentation.

Has he tried another cable?

As dynamik said, check the cable. The PS3 can be directly connected to the router.

Cool. Just wanted to rule that out.
