Re: OT Network checker

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Is it the actual ethernet link status you need to check Stuart, or is a
simple cable check good enough?

Basically, I use one of the super cheeep network testers sold in B&Q
under
the Philex Brand. When I got mine, it was about £25, not that expensive..
