Hi,

I was wandering if someone could help me..

I have a home network setup that includes two US robotics Gigabit
switches a 16 Port Swithch (USR 997932A) and an 8 port (USR 997933)..
I am trying to connect these two switches together using a standard
(working) cat 5e cable without any success.

If i connect a server to the 16 port switch and then connect a pc to
the 8 port switch and try to ping the server it fails... however if I
connect the pc to the same 16 port switch it all works fine... is
there a problem with connecting two gigabit switches together?

Constants:-

* I have tested both switches independently and they work fine
* i have tested and replaced all cat 5e cables and again they are
fine.
* The PC's have DLINK Gigabit NIC cards installed and these work
fine.

Can anyone suggest why I might be having a problem?

regards
Ajay
