Further to this, some switches (and maybe hubs, I don't know) have
auto-sensing ports, which mean it doesn't matter weather you use a straight (normal) or a cross-over (send-receive wires crossed) cable. Check the manual. If it doesn't, it may have an uplink port - in which case a straight cable from the router to the uplink will work. If there's no uplink port, you need a cross-over cable. *Word of advice* Once out of the package these cables look like regular cables. (The pot didn't LOOK hot!) Stick a label on it. Oh ya, and look at the managed/unmanaged thing too.

The device must have been broken. I bought a different one and it worked w/o
any problems.
