most modern switches now support auto-uplink which will enable you to use either a crossover or patch (straight through) cable to connect to switches.

Check with the manufacturer to see if this feature is supported. if not a cross-over cable should do the trick.

i have no manuals of this switch but i guess that i can use a crossover cable. should i use uplink port or any other (1-8)? how can i set up the network with win98 se? thnx
