The router is setup to allow crossover and straight through cables. altho a few years ago if you were using a switch it would have to be a specific cable type. also if connecting 2 pc's/laptops directly you would need to use a cross-over.

Just to clarify for those that are confused:
Router <-> PC = PATCH
Router <-> DBox = PATCH
PC <-> PC = CROSSOVER
PC <-> DBox = CROSSOVER
Settings for one to communicate with one another is another matterComment
