I got 4 machines at home on an Ethernet coax.
A-B-C-D.
B is FreeBSD server (samba), the rest is win98 (C is split win/fbsd).
C and D talks fine to B. A talks nicely to C (haven't tried to D), but very poorly to
B.
I got ping losses of 1 out of 3 to 4 from A to B, but no loss A to C.
I then took the T-plug from A and put it on a hub, and UTP from hub to A.
Still 100% from A to C, but now no ping at all from A to B!
What's going on? Standing waves? I got proper terminators either end.
The cable is assembled of well 10 shorter pieces with "empty" T-plugs, could that be a
problem?
