I really love it when a poster asks such a question: "Could my cross 
over cable have some loose wiring?" This question was asked on a mailing 
list, to a group of people who have never met this person, never seen 
his equipment, never seen his cable, etc.

As best I can tell, there are three possible answers to his question:

"no" - This would be the most humorous (but least helpful) answer :-)

"maybe" - Accurate, but useless

"yes" - Accurate, and obvious

Equivalent quality answers could have been obtained from a Magic 8-Ball, 
and the poster could have continued trying to solve his problem, rather 
than asking us.

You did a good job actually trying to help him out in spite of his lack 
of ability to troubleshoot on his own <G>
