Why is things difficult? So I'm putting in this switch, got everything on the entrainment center with an ethernet port wired, so far so good...

Everything connects fine, EXCEPT THE F'N XBOX 360. It's claiming it can't connect to Live, and it's asking for port forwarding from the router, whatever port forwarding is. And it's a router Lumos installed so I have no idea about getting into the settings.....

GAH!

Does the switch have a dedicated and marked uplink port? Possibly one that is marked to the port next to it?

Well I decided to eat my dinner [ Steak/tater/green bean's and sautéed onion-shroom ] while reading thru the new post's on XN. I knocked my MILK over and not a single drop went any where near the keyboard :)
On the downside next to the computer table is a 3 tier shoe rack:eek: So some leather boot's /shoe's got a 2% milk bath inside and out:oops:

I'm sure ufcking glad I keep my shoe's on the shoe rack by the front door :p

Just checking. I see one cable without a link light. That's probably your Xbox. Bad cable or settings in the Xbox. It might turn off the ethernet port if it's connected to wifi.
The XBox is turned off. It lights up when you turn it back on. Blu-ray player does the same.

If the Xbox was connecting via wifi, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it wired in... unless the router is separating the wireless and wired connections, and the settings are different...

The router feeds some air-ties routers for mesh wi-fi around the house. No issues on the Mesh but I've had port forwarding things for a desktop but it wanted forwarding on the wi-fi and didn't ask for that on a LAN connection straight to the router.

How much you asking, and what does it need?
I havent decided on a price, that partly depends on if I can get it running well soon, or if someone just throws me some money and takes it away...

At the moment, it is throwing a P0305 and shuddering like crazy trying to accelerate. I attempted to pull the cylinder 5 coil pack and spark to see if there was something obvious, or swap it to a different cylinder to see if the code follows it, but don't have that much room in my garage, and was too lazy/busy to pull the air intake on Sat, as I was also swapping a bunch of stuff to the new X.

Also has an issue with the driver rear speed sensor that Ive been chasing for a month, should have the part to (hopefully) fix that, but the p0305 showed up before I got the chance to drive to my buddies place to do that.

Has 300k km on it, so some age issues are starting to pop up.

Did you fix it yet or get too drunk and start smashing things?
Haven't touched it. Everything else is hunky dory so just letting it ride for the time being. Not like the 360 gets a bunch of use anymore.

How do you guys trim the excess off the pass through style RJ45 connectors?

Never used the pass through. I think there's a special crimper that cuts those you need to use.

Just go old school it takes some practice but you can make ends that look damn near machine made if you do it enough

By not using pass through connectors.
