Hey, I need to toggle an ethernet connection to one of my computers without using the pc (its a file server that I leave on. It has an active connection for downloading music, and a secondary card that connects to the wan port on my router then to the other pc's)
I need to externally switch on and off the connection, and the switch is in a bad place to continually plug and unplug it, same with the pc. I have a whole bunch of Cat5e cable and some light switches, im just wondering if its possible to connect the light switch to one of the cables to enable/disable the connection.
awhile ago i seen someone else do this, i just cant find it on google anymore. theres 8 wires to choose from, and im sure that if i can switch one of them on and off and have it enable/disable the connection
