Scott/Rick,
Good points both. I forgot to mention cable type because I figured that any
network cable in play now would be CAT5E or maybe CAT6. I have never used
a CAT5 cable.
I bought most of my network cables 10 years ago and did spec CAT5E. I have
yet to test any CAT6; but, if I ever do
Yes, 1GHz and it also might have to be an unbalanced 4/0db if signal is weak.

Hmm, ok on that note, what's the 1 Ghz for the splitter refer
to-or the 4/0db unbalanced thing? I've got TW Cable at home and have
it split 4 ways

During lunch I picked up a couple of CAT6 cables and a 1GHZ splitter.
So far, the splitter is working nicely, modem is happy. Next will be
the CAT6 cables, and, yes, both computers have gigabit network on
board. One cable run is the std 15ft but probably CAT5 or less (not
marked) and the
Actually that is the way I'd like to do it, with a distribution amp. My
old one was probably 20 years old and just not up to digital cable.
Anyways, mission accomplished on the network also. Plugged in CAT6
cables and both boxes are running at 1 gig. I like the fast transfer.
Also,

You are now on my 'CAT6 List' when I decide to update!
Congrats!
Glad you now see Gbit speeds. Or, whatever improvement.

Mine live on shelves all by themselves. I dust them off about every 6 months!
Other than that, they

however, they only work with the DVD player. No TV. No VCR. Okay,

Steve,
Understand your glitch with the new Gbit switch..
The switch does not control the lan speeds, the individual client(s) nics do.
Until you upgrade all your machine's nics to Gbit, you new switch will
process whatever speed any 2 nics negotiate between themselves.
If your nics are
I think cat5 will run at 1G if the run is fairly short.
(All other nics, etc, need to be 1G though...)

Steve,

Agreed -- If plain cat5, could be the problem. When I installed some
gigabit switches at work (original CAT5 cable runs were done in early
90s) some computers / ports went to full gigabit speeds, some stayed
at 100. Had to rerun some cables.
My understanding is that auto-negotiation for
