Just remember crossover is hardly ever used now. Straight is almost always what you need for typical use.
Unless you're using particularly old switches or routers it doesn't matter if you're using straight or crossover anymore.
And really only on both sides. Thankfully, auto detect only requires one side to have it to work.
Unfortunately I found it doesn't always work so smoothly. It didn't on my PS2 no matter how much I tried. Crossover is still needed in some cases I guess.
