Hi ParalelIt's something you can attach after the transceiver that will allow you to test the hardware in your machine to see if its functional. It will help give you a better idea of where the problem might be.
It's a little Ethernet plug:
It looks like an ethernet plug that has its cable chopped off, but its supposed to be just a blind end. The loopback plug will allow you to test your system hardware
Hey, I used to have that exact transceiver; it was port 25 on an otherwise 24 port Kingston rackable hub...I have a 10base switch I brought only a few weeks ago as my old one wasn’t auto switching, I’ve had the transceiver for some time the one below. I’m just not sure if I’m doing anything wrong?
I think I'll pass on the kiss, but, well, I'm glad it's sorted.Gorgonops,
err no I hadn’t noticed that my back plate is rather rusty, I could kiss you its only bloody working!!!! Zippy is online!!!
