Ok I downgraded to 2.0, same problem. I usually use icecream instead of peanut butter ;-) I'll check for the pins and the RJ-45 Socket now. My Switch is a dualspeed one supporting 10/100 HDX/FDX. Like I said it worked with the same setup for years. But anyway Im going to try with a crossed cable and manually set XP to 10HDX.

tnx so far!
