Hey guys, had a question
When connecting a WAN port (modem) to a LAN port on a switch or hub, do you use a straight thru cable or a cross over?
I know straight thru's are used for unlike devices (pc-switch,pc-hub) and crossover's are used for like devices switch to switch, pc-pc,hub-hub, but when its a wan port to lan port, which do you use?

Which one shows down and down when hooking it up?
I'm not sure on that one.

You should be able to use either - the ports should be auto sensing.Blogging my AWS studies here! http://www.itstudynotes.uk/aws-csa
