Okay, at the present moment the network I have is as follows: My Belkin Router connects my PC and my Media Centre PC to the rest of my network via an ethernet cable which is plugged into the uplink port of a 10mbps HUB in my house (I live in a garage whilst the rest of my family live inside *shrug* don't ask why). That 10mbps HUB is then connected to 2 other PC's and my XBOX 360 which I have recently aquired. Only problem is that the Media Centre function on the XBOX 360 requires a 100mbps HUB :/
I have 2 100mbps HUBS though you see, one is a 3Com and one is SohoConnect. However, when I plug the ethernet into either of those HUB's uplink ports the whole LAN crashes and I can't connect to either of the 2 PC's inside or the XBO 360! The lights on the HUB's for the uplink blink on and off as well. I can't for the life of me figure out why the 10mbps HUB works fine and yet these two HUB's don't! Only thing I can think of is incompatibility issue? The 10mbps HUB is a generic HUB built in 2000. Any help you guys can give will be much apprenciated! I've been told a crossover cable might work but I'd really prefer not having to go back to the whole clinching process if possible.
