RE: [newbie] Ethernet Question (was 10/100 Ethernet)
A hundred meters is a lot of cable (325 ft), you should not be any problem running this in a house. (if you do I'd like to talk to you about moving in - it seems you way more house than you can use G. Besides if you put a hub up in the attic then you couldn't look at those pretty blinking lights 8-).

Re: [newbie] Ethernet Question (was 10/100 Ethernet)
Since you are using 10/100 NICs, why not use a 100baseT Hub? You can find them pretty cheap off of the internet and would probably give you the speed boost you want. Like it was said below, 10Mb/s is only 1.25 MB/s, not 10 MB/s. So on a 10baseT network you are running at a MAX of 10 MegaBITS per second. * Original message from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] newbie@linux- mandrake.com 10megabit=1.25megabyte actual speed transferred isn't 1.25 megabyte... its less than that maybe about 1megabyte tops per second. so 425 megabyte transferred in about 8 minutes is pretty reasonable [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 08/18/99 01:57:53 PM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Hamka B Hj Suleiman/SKO/PCSB/Petronas) Subject: [newbie] Ethernet Question (was 10/100 Ethernet) I have a simple three user ethernet at home, and all is well. I just have on question concerning speed. I have 10/100 baseT NIC`s and a 10baseT hub. I know that the speed will only go as fast as the hub, but is seems realy slow. For instance, it takes around 8 minutes to transfer 425 megs. And the thing is, these computers are in my room, at the max only 15 feet apart. In a week they have to be more than 200 feet apart. Whats the hold up ? They are all good computers too. (PII`s) thanks jerrud
Re: [newbie] Ethernet Question (was 10/100 Ethernet)
No, it isn't. 10baseT and 100baseT are only specs for the speed data is transferred. Unshielded category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable is limited to 100m cable length. 10base2, or BNC, is limited to 185m. * Original message from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I got this hub for free :) Also, I read that 100baseT hubs can be twice as far away as a 10baseT hub. Is this true? jerrud
