Re: Network with Coax cable

["Nitin Srivastava" <nitin_s@xxxxxxxxx>]

my computer vendor says that without hub two computers can't be connected
using twisted pair cable. can anyone send be the collour codes of the wires
to be connected in the socket. so that i can ask him to crimp the connectors
accordingly and give me and then i can show him how it works without hub.
