	Feedback plug
Dear Support: I read an article on one of my mailing lists that referred to a "feedback plug". With this plugged into a computer's ethernet port, the computer would think that it was plugged into a real network. How do I make one of these? Thanks in advance. Marc Hoffman

Dear Marc, Although I never used one of those, I can imaging that the only way to build something like that is to connect transmitting pair ro the receiving one. Naturally, this is a function of the ethernet crossover cord. You can find the pin layout here: http://www.cabling-design.com/references/pinouts/10-100base_t_crossover.shtml The only difference is that Plug A and Plug B are actually the same plug. Hope that works ;-) Sincerely, Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD
