a pc to pc patch cable shouldn't work because of the wiring pinout. It'd be like talking to someone's mouth and listening to their ear.

Anyway, I'll just go to sleep and pretend none of this ever happened.


If both nic have auto-negotiate capablities it shouldnt mater what cable you use was my understanding.

I thought all auto-negotiate affected was the duplex and data rate. I didn't think a nic had the ability to autoswap input/output pins.

However, I could be wrong, and totally lack the desire to find out conclusively. :p

The auto-negotiation mechanism allows the two interfaces on a link to select the best common mode automatically, the moment a cable is plugged in.
