Networking question. (NIC compatability)?

You change to ethernet.  No really, you change to ethernet.\n\nYour 16Mbps token ring cards will not run any faster than the 4Mbps cards that are sharing the tokens on the network.  But to insure network reliability, speed, etc, you migrate to ethernet.

Didn't you ask this same question yesterday?  If there were no standards, then parts wouldn't be interchangeable.  Also, for LAN standards, do a search on TCP/IP subnetting.

Actually you don't need a router. Buy a switch -  much cheaper and will do the job for you. Or... you can buy another network adapter and configure it. Example:\nComputer1 (allready have a link to internet) has 2 NIC's (1 which exists and 1 you have to buy)\nComputer2 (the one you want to use on internet too) has 1 NIC\n!!!now, you can configure computer1 using ICS (Internet connexion sharing) - if you are using Microsoft Windows XP -> this will let you have internet on the computer2. Xp will do almost all settings for you... It's easy.

both system must have a network card (nic)\nu need a cross over network cable\nboth system must have same workgroup name\nthen share the folders\nif u want to access the internet- u need to install Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).\ndun forget your firewall - u need to allow access or the firewall will not allow u to access from the other system\nu can go to www.practicallynetworked.com to read all the tutorials on networking.

You are missing information needed to answer your question. Did you use a router, switch, or hub to connect the devices to the LAN? Will you be using static or dynamic IP addressing? Normally the network setup wizard included with windows will set up the lan connections for you.

What is it you are trying to accomlish? You would also have to tweak the computer routing tables to tell it which subnet routes out which NIC. If you are trying to do some form of bundling to increase your network performance you are going to need some third party software

Have patience, run Network Configuration Wizard, restart the computer. MAKE SURE YOU SET THE SAME WORKGROUP NAME FOR BOTH STATIONS!! Otherwise it will take Windows forever to change recognize it after you have changed it. But just have patience, once Windows XP came along networking got just a little bit harder to get started as opposed to WIN98.

My Friend.. what all my friends above told u is correct if its some other operating system....but in your case you have a XP Home Edition...which dosent support networking...even if you have a network card...it wont be able to function due to the limitation of the Home Edition.Install 98 on both the systems...or upgrade your XP home edition to XP Professional....Cheers

If you are using Windows XP, then you can enable ICS, (Internet Connection Sharing) and you won't have to purchase any hardware. You may need additional cable to attach the other computers to the one with the internet connection. This link provides info on how to enable ICS.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/crawford_02july01.mspx

get another lan card.\n\nalthough i doubt it would work cause I've never tried it before but try having two lan connections to your hub and set different ip's for each connection.

possible NIC card problem

Whats the make and model of the older computer (need that to look up the specs). If it's a desktop you may be able to install a NIC card into the computer.

Okay.  are they both connected to the same router?

Silentmobius is right. However, the NAT box will have to have at least 2 network cards. One for inside and one for outside.

There is a solution to do this that will work without using a hub/switch. It's really kind of easy and not too hard to set up.\n\nTHE HARDWARE - \n\n3 PCI 10/100 NICs\nI reccommend Linksys cards. They tend to work the best in my experience. 3Com are nice to have, but tend to run a little spendier. \nSome computers will have the ports you need built in. Look on the back of your computer. You should see some ports that look like phone jacks. You can distinguish a phone jack from a network jack by the number of gold pins that are in the center of the jack. If there are four pins, thats a telephone line (RJ-11). Eight Pins signifies a network jack (RJ-45).\n\nYou will also need a Cat5 Crossover Cable. If you don't have one or you don't know what I'm talking about, go to your local Best Buy, Radio Shack, WalMart etc and try to find one in the computer section. Its very important that it says CROSSOVER. \n\nSOFTWARE-\n\nWindows XP. Thats it.\n\nTHE SETUP-\n\n1) Install the network cards so that one machine has two network ports in it and one machine has only one. \n\n2) Install any drivers that came with the NICs. \n\n3) Hook up the cable modem / dsl modem so that the network port on the modem connects to one of the network ports on the machine that has two network ports.\n\n4) Connect the crossover cables between the open network port on the computer with two network ports and the computer that has only one network port.\n\n5) On the computer connected to the modem, set up Internet Connection Sharing. (For tips on how to do this, visit Microsofts website <a href=http://www.microsoft.com>here</a>.\n\nThat's It! Enjoy the internet on two seperate computers.

you could try radmin, logmein, gotomypc, \n\nif you are able to access the net properly than these software will work fine with it.\n\nlet me know if you have any further question.
