Hi all,

My wife has an old mac notebook. It uses 10Mbps networking. I found
that I could network it to my netgear wpn824 if I connect via a
ACSCS Microstack Hub but I can't connect it directly. I would have
thought that the ethernet port on the wpn824 would auto-config to
10Mbps. I also try a Netgear FRP114. Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Most likely, you`ve been trying
to direct connect with a straight-through
cable....you`ll need x-over.
