A.3 Using Wall Cables
If your PCs are far from each other or the Internet Sharer is installed in an
equipment room, you can use existing wall cabling or you can install wall cabling.
Remember that all cables from the PC to the Internet Sharer or to the modem
have to be crossover cables.

You can mix crossover and straight-through cables if you respect the
following conditions.
• You can use straight through cables one after the other with one
crossover cable.
• You can use one or any odd number of crossover cables connected
one after the other because you will still obtain a crossover cable.
You cannot use two or any even number of crossover cables connected
one after the other because you will obtain a straight-through cable.
