Powerbook 3400 100BaseT Ethernet

I have tried with a D-Link DFE-650TX card to get higher speed transfers from the internet - higher than those with a 10BaseT internal card alone. Can anyone suggest a better way to go about this or am I doomed to failure? I am running 8.6 and I would like to stay with this OS. I have a PB3400/2

Re: EIDE in PB 5300cs?

Just put the drive into a system, like a Wallstreet, that will allow you to partition it using Drive Setup. So a 10G drive could become 2-5G drives, or perhaps stay under the 4G limit on SCSI docking. So a 20G drive could become 5 - 4G drives and you would be able to SCSI dock all parts of the d

Re: Powerbook 3400 100BaseT Ethernet

I'm just wondering how much of a difference a 100BaseT card would make. I would think that the 1.5 mb/sec speed of your cable connection would be well within the capabilities of your 10BaseT card. Daniel Sirks wrote: > I have tried with a D-Link DFE-650TX card to get higher speed transfers > fr

Re: Powerbook 3400 100BaseT Ethernet

Hi, I have a 3400 also, and the built-in 10baseT works fine, but 100 baseT - this is not a G3, folks, and the internal bus is (?) 40 MHz, but I do have 80 MB Ram, if that helps. George --- Remy Davison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >I have tried with a D-Link DFE-650TX card to get > higher speed

Bruce, I'm getting around "5.0K/s" speeds. I use a router and a desktop PC. It gets a faster signal and the "100" light on my router lights up when I use the desktop. This 3400 much faster than I was getting with my 5300. Can I get faster though? It right now is fast enough that I do not us
