You know having mis-match colored patch cords can hurt your network performance? :D

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

My network is screwed :(
 
Well, I just wanted to update you guys on the status of my network. My power company killed the 24 port hub, so I am now using a Netgear 16 port switch. I need my 24 port switch back....lol
 
I'm using a Linksys 24 port unmanaged switch I got off newegg, it got fried as well some how, but thankfully it has a lifetime warranty, no questions asked. They replaced it pretty quick (sent out the replacement unit and then I sent the old one back).

Its just under 100 now, btw it is a limited warranty, but like I said they didn't really ask much. I told them straight forward my best guess is that it got shocked, and they didn't waste much time shipping a replacement. So as long as your not beating the crap out of the thing I don't think they will turn you away. Its also rack mountable.
