I'm going to be setting up a small 100Mb home network soon and I'd
like some info/help. While I know plenty about Unix/Linux sysadmin, I
know next to nothing about networking. At first my network will
consist of two hosts, with a third host present intermittently (a
laptop that floats with me). I d

If you're using cat5. If you're just using coax cable, you don't need a
hub or switch and can just hang everything off the one wire.

Why 100Mb? 10 is fast enough for most uses and is actually faster than
most machines can push bits out the interface.

I have purchased several "hub kits" at 100Mb that sold for the same
price as 10Mb kits (same number of ports/same brand). I suspect that
from a manufacturing standpoint that the 10Meg stuff is "obsolete".
OTOH I still agree with you in that there is no point in paying a
premium for a 100Meg hub

After a long delay I am finally ready to put together a small training
network in my apartment. First I have some basic questions.
There are 3 machines one AMD 586 133 /64 mg (my primary machine) and 2
Intel 486 66 /8 mg. All have ISA NE2000 cards
1. Can I live with 8 mg in the 486s?
I've been trying to set up a *very* simple network with two peers
recently. This is my first exploration into ethernet related issues
under Linux.
Before I get started properly, the FM's I have read are the NAG,
NET-3-HOWTO and the Ethernet-HOWTO.
The cards I am using are two NE2000 clones, manuf

I have 2 cards of that type, but what I did was boot dos from floppy and
then run the card setup utility to turn off pnp and set the ioport and irq
values. Then I ran modconf to install the ne module. They work fine that
way. I only use isapnp on devices that don't allow you to explicity set
the va

??? you need to give the io for modprobe
Well. It seems that the problem with my network is hardware rather than
software related. I initialised the cards from DOS, and there were some
diagnostic utils too. According to the diagnostics, the 'Media
Connector' or somesuch is a dud. The cables, t pieces and terminators
are fine, so suffice t
I recently installed Debian at two home PC’s. Both are connected to an ADSL
modem through which Internet is accessed.
All network configurations were made by Debian at installation time. I’m able
to ping each machine from each other but by its IP address. However, I don't
get any results if I
