networking experts, Help with DB9-RJ45 connector

There are several situations where there is no passive converter between RJ-45 and DB9. Also, there is no standard for RS-232 over UTP that I am aware of. In that case, the brand of equipment will be necessary. If its T-1 / PRI, I can look it up. Cisco Console cable, no big. If its localtalk...

What are my options to share the internet between two houses?

Wireless is your best option. With a road in the way, you would have to have permission to run cable of any type. With the bridge to bridge wireless, you can go for several miles with the right antennas and line of sight. I would look for devices that support external antennas. HTH Doug

15Krpm SCSI - Fujitsu or Seagate ?

Yes. The 52 is a "15K.2" or second generation drive. The 53 is a "15k.3" or third generation drive. Both drives are great, but the newer 15K.3 drive is about 10% faster than the 15k.2 when they each use the Ultra 160 controller. Since the peak read speed of the 15K.3 drive is about 100 MB/s...

Making Shielded Cables

Any wire that is not grounded has the potential to become an antenna. Shielded cable works because the outer, grounded shield forms a Faraday Cage. Basically, if the shield is grounded, the electric field is the same inside the shield, blocking external electro-magnetic interference. If the...

*Update* 6-way nForce2 Roundup Online

Evan; Thanks for asking. I am interested in add on controller performance. How about testing an Adaptec 19160 and a Seagate 15k.3 on the boards? :) I would also like to know which of the boards have holes to mount a water block. Thanks for testing the MSI. They looked like they had the...

Why AMD? WHY???!!! (FBS Question)

ECUHITMAN; FSB is one aspect of a design, and CAN be a limiting factor in the performance. The Current Athlon gains only about 5% between 266 FSB and 333 FSB. The reason that the P4 design has (and requires) a faster FSB is its innovative cache design. The P4 tends to use more memory and FSB...

Good CCNA/CCIE study books

tolbyn; Jeff Doyle's 2 books are excellent. I have both, and would not give either of them up. Neither is really geared for tests as much as to raise your understanding of routing protocols, with emphasis on Cisco implementations. It also covers the Cisco proprietary protocols that you need to...

HELLLP ME Number of NODES in a Ehternet Network

Kashan answered how many hosts in an IP network. Good answer. :) My definition of the question "Does anyone know the number of nodes in an ethernet network? " is a bit different. To me, a node is defined as any device that has a MAC address. In this context, I would define a "network" to be...

Need a basic block diagram....

When planning a data network, the biggest single factor is size. A twenty-computer network has fewer complexes than a 200, which is less than a 2000, is less than... AS your network grows, the complexity required becomes greater. The second largest factor is the number of geographic sites. The...

Dynamic and static ips easy way to switch????

I have found on Win 98, that plugging the PCMCIA NIC into the other slot will be recognized as a different nic, and can have a different address. Or a different NIC type will also be a seperate IP address. HTH Doug
