Is there any gadget or adapter which can convert a
Cross-over Cable into a Standard Cat5 straight cable? Until
recently I was using a Cross-over Cable between my Laptop
and my Desktop PC for ICS, with the PC connected to the
Internet via a USB ADSL modem. Now I have replaced the USB
Modem with a Belkin Wireless ADSL Modem-router and have
hard-wired the PC to the router through the ethernet ports.
The Laptop has a PCMCIA adapter card for a wireless link
with the router. Unfortunately the wireless modem-router is
not all that it claimed to be and I wish to retain a
hard-wire connection to my laptop as an alternative. Since
this cable is a Cross-over and runs through the attic etc.
I was wondering if there is any way I can still make use of
it and connect to the router using an adapter which will in
effect "straighten" the cross-over cable. Any suggestions?
