Re: [H] [Bulk] Re: Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Pre-order now available

I'm seriously tempted to do it myself but I just got rid of 7001 on my game box because it just had too many incompatibilities. I've reinstalled Vista and the new SP2 makes it boot and run much quicker than before. I thought after 7 it would act like the dog I remember but it turned out to be a

Re: [H] Networking, distance, etc

JoeUser, As far as I read this and into this, you should be good to go. I believe that any switch or hub is a repeater(?) within the 100m envelope. Others may differ... :) I do suppose that there may be special boxes that are true "repeaters" in this context; like for cable extensions beyo

Re: [H] Networking, distance, etc

The switches are needed anyway to provide AP's down the line. I hoped that it could also act as a 'repeater' in regards to the strength. I would have three total... mainline from Information Super Highway to about 230 ft - place 10/100 switch run another 200 or so and drop another switch and then a

Re: [H] Networking, distance, etc

Mark, I think I am with you, sort of..My comprehension of very OLD solid/one wire was very early 10/base2(?). Coax. I could be really wrong here! But, I am sure we are all way beyond this technology. I clearly understand the "surfaces" business of multi-wire newer net cables. I'm sure som

Re: [H] Networking, distance, etc

Solid core, one wire to travel around like you say, multiple or stranded wire has more sufaces for the cage effect to get mucked up, altho it usually bends with out breaking opposed to solid core, it does not do well with network signaling. You will need switches, not hubs, every 100 meters and

Re: [H] Networking, distance, etc

Rick, Thank you. I do understand the "Faraday skin effect." Still, I'm not sure how this really matters. Electricity always travels on the outer surface of any conductor. Rarely through the bulk/core of the conductor. But, I will go read some more and check out your links.. :) Perhaps m

Re: [H] Networking, distance, etc

From: "DSinc" But, I still do chafe at the "solid-core" business. Most of the cat5/6 cables I have looked at do NOT use "solid-core" wire. I mostly see multiple-strand (tiny) copper wire. I just looked this up recently on another list, in a different context. That is called the a Faraday skin

Re: [H] Networking, distance, etc

As you state, that limit is for networks using hubs (and repeaters); switches do not have such a restriction. I suspect that Ethernet extenders are going to cost much more than a handful of basic Fast Ethernet switches... Greg > -Original Message- > From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.c

Re: [H] Networking, distance, etc

Ethernet is normally 100 meters per drop, (328 feet) . There are also limitations to the number of hubs you can put in between end points as well, I believe it's 3 for 100BaseT. Many companies sell Ethernet Repeaters or Extenders, in both copper and Fiber versions. Then you would not need

Hello Hardware List, I have to put a network in place. It's about 700 ft from the start to where I need to end it. It's got to be copper. I was going to run Cat6 (Cat6e?) even though its a 10/100 network and drop a 10/100 switch every 200 ft or so. The switch would serve 2 purposes: 1
