switch to switch = crossover
switch to router = straight through
router to router = crossover
host to switch = crossover
Note that with modern switches that support auto-mdx you can actually connect 2 switches together with a straight thru and the switches will auto adjust.

I saw that earlier and thought you would notice at some point. I suppose it was some copy-paste daemon!
