True, but with remote trouble-shooting, it's possible to miss something 
that is obvious when you can see the equipment.  Do we have any assurance 
that switch and cables actually work?  Do lights on switch and nic come on 
& go out when CAT5 cable is connected & disconnected?  Do lights on 
switch/nic blink when you issue ping commands?
