It's set to uplink. And that port is the one connected to the router.

You may need a "cross-over cable" to connect the hub to the router (unless on of the ports on it is marked as a cross- over port - in which case, use that one to connect to the router).. -- Stuart On 29 Dec 2009 at 12:53, Rocky Smolin wrote: > Well, the sites describe my problem.
