[SunHELP] Connect two Intel Solaris machine together.

[James Fogg]

Very simple to do.
Build a crossover cable (this has been covered before).

rj45pins		cable		rj45pins
1				3
2				6
3				1
6				2

other pins dont matter. Pins 1+2 must use a twisted pair, such as the
orange/white pair. Pins 3+6 must use a twisted pair, like the green/white pair.
These colors are the standard color codes for cat5 cable. Hold the rj45's with
the locking tab down and the pins pointed away from you and the pins count
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 left to right.

If you want to use a standard cat5 cable as the starting point, cut one rj45
off the cable. Get a new rj45 and use the orange/white wire for pin 3, the
orange wire for pin 6, the green/white wire for pin 1 and the green wire for
pin 2.
