Q: This may seem a silly question, but I ordered a Epox 8rda3 + motherboard and comes with two LAN ports . I use one of the ports for connecting my cable modem router, while I like the other port to the internet with my old computer parts. The old computer has a standard 10/100 PCI NIC. Would I need a crossover cable to my Epox 8rda3 + LAN controller card to my old computer? Or can I just a normal ethernet cable? Connecting the old computer directly to the router is not an option. Thanks in adva
