After reading this thread, I grabbed a 4 strand cable and Remix started working fine over eth.
Your cable is 2 piar , not 4 pair ? On a RJ45 connector ?
... did you make the cable or purchase the cable ? Say more about this please...
I made the cable years ago before there was gigabit. 100BaseT only used 2 twisted pair. yes, it's rj45. pins 1 2 3 6
Thank you so much for this contribution. Making a two(2) pair cable is a really good hardware work-around for the GbE problem in general. After I read your post I made a similar cable by removing the blue and brown pairs. That forces the negotiation to go into high-speed ethernet (100 /ful) without the software intervention. Its not a fix, but it does make my GbE switch useful for the three machines I have at home that can use it.
