Hello All,
I picked up a used CNet, CN8800TX (?) mini-hub this weekend at a used
computer store - so no info, drivers, etc. The CNet, Inc site only
gives specs, no user manual etc. It has one BNC and 9 UDP ports, one
is used for uplink, I assume set by a DIP switch. I am new to this and
have successfully set up a cable modem on an all but BNC thin coaxial
network @ home using SuSE 7.2 personal so all my kids and I have have
internet sharing with the cable modem. THe gateway is my son's machine
as it is closest to the cable wire coming in, thus it was chosen. I do
not want to pull new cabling in the house, so I put two NICs in his
box to accomodate my needs for now. The issue is he uses windoze for his
school stuff and games ( he's 11) and I have SuSE running on it now. I
would like to set up a dedicated Linux only gateway in the basement and
use this mini-hub, so I won't have to pull put one new cable in this
3 level home. Can anyone tell me or point me to a howto or SxS on how to
use and set this up. ( I am a newbie at this, but an older amateur @
networking. I am a physician, not a trained IT or hardware person, but
do this as an enjoyable hobby for myself and others).
Regards,
Keith B.
