If you have the hub NDH305 from SOHOWARE, it can handle both 10 and
100Mbps (if you have the SFH105, it can do 100Mbps only)..the NDH305
adjusts for either. What their tech support told me tonite was that I
need a CAT5 cable (RJ45 connectors) between the cable modem and the hub
..those cables that came with the hub are to be used between hub and pc
only, not for use between the modem and hub. I will be buying a CAT5
cable tomorrow and try again tomorrow nite.
