My Thecus N5200 just came, so I put in the hard drives, plugged in the power, and turned it on, but I'm unsure how to get it working on my PC. I don't have a router at the moment. All I have is a PC with dual gigabit ethernet and the N5200 has 4 LAN ports + 1 WAN port. One of my PC's gigE is attached to the broadband modem whereas the other is unused, so I'm using that one to plug in to any of the 5 ports on the N5200, but it always shows up as limited connectivity (basically, not working). I was wondering if anyone knew how to set this up, or if I really needed a gigE switch in order to connect the two.
Edit: It seems like I *might* need a crossover cable...
