hi, what you really need is what's called an "AAUI Tranceiver" (sp?) as far as i know, all powermacs shipped w/ ethernet, but the earlier ones, such as your 6100, didn't have a nor…

Hi, thanks for replying. I already have a transcever. but I need another ethernet port.

Asante made one for the longest time, EN/SC. But as far as I knew, the drivers for it were NOT Open Trasnport compliant. And if I can extrapolate what you're trying to do, I'd gues…

Yeah, i'm switchiung to a sloted machine. Thanks for your postings everyone!

I have a 5500/225 that came without an ethernet card, and I just bought a new graphite iMac (Sweet!) to replace it. The iMac, of course, comes only with Ethernet. So, I bought the …

You need to use a crossover cable that has wires 1&2 swtiched on one end with 3&6. These are available anywhere ethernet cables are sold. If you are using a standard patch…

Well, regardless of why I need a crossover cable (used to connect to hubs, I thought) instead of a regular patch cable, I purchased one this afternoon and I'm now downloading all 1…

The reason you need a crossover cable is that one pair is transmit and the other is receive. When you have a hub it connects those two pairs together. Without it you have to connec…

I am actually not confused, instead I am quite aware of the differences between a megabit and a megabyte. And, therefore, my calculations told me that 100 megabits is equal to abou…

Are you sure that it connected at 100Mbps? Did the lights light up 100 on both sides? Also, you don't get the full 12Mbps as their is some network overhead especially with AppleTal…

That makes sense... The light was on on the 5500, but the iMac doesn't have a light with its built-in ethernet. I can understand why the PCI implementation on the 5500 might be slo…

In my newspaper lab, we have 24 5500/225's with 100Mb/s ethernet cards that were put in about 3 weeks ago. The hub(s) are really nice professional models that always run at 100mb…
