How I will know whether I have to use cross-over or straighr cable to
connect PC-to-switch-to-router-to-cable modem?.
I have 2 PC's - connect to - switch - connect to - router - connected
to - Cable modem, How can I know where to use straight cable and where
to use cross-over cable?.
Thanks.

I don't think you need to use *any* crossovers these days. Ports on routers
and switches are increasingly autodetecting devices so straight-thru cables
can be used for uplinks as well as connecting LAN devices, and the devices
will figure it out...

These days the only time you'll ever need x-over cabling is that very
odd time when all you want to connect up two PCs directly one-on-one
with no routers, swiches, hubs, or anything in between.
