ethernet straight when connecting over router.
crossover for direct connecton to pc or sometimes to broadband modem.
with direct connection give all devices an ip address same (group) and and same subnet address. Check if the STB requires a special address.
when using a router, if using automated features, make sure ranges contains enough addresses for all devices.
