Where is the ethernet?

The textbook definitions of Ethernet have little to do with current practice. Ethernet is supposed to be a single common medium with multiple connections. That may be true for older installations and laboratory environments. However, new desktop installations bring Ethernet to the desktop over phone wire and frequently build the spine using fiber optics. \n\nThe connection between the hub in the wiring closet and the adapter card in the PC forms a single point- to-point Ethernet segment between two stations. The connection to the rest of the LAN involves active electronics in the hub. In current use, this is done with a repeater that copies every bit and propagates collisions. \n\nA new generation of even smarter hubs provides a "bridge" connection between the main LAN and the phone wire. Only multicast messages and private messages specifically addressed to the PC are forwarded to the desktop. This has two advantages: \n\nIt provides greater security, because the desktop user cannot spy on traffic addressed to other nodes. \n\nIt provides each desktop user with an isolated, private 10 megabit data path free of collisions. The connection between hubs can then use a higher speed fiber optic protocol (such as "ATM") to deliver much greater performance than simple Ethernet. This hybrid (Ethernet to the desktop, something else between the hubs) represents a compromise of high performance and low cost.

disconect the ethernet cable.\n\n:>peace

a phone cable, if its a dial up. an ethernet cable if it is dsl/ cable/ high speed internet. the length depends on how far the source of the internet is from your computer.

The cheapest way to go is to just plug into the Ethernet ports on the router. Of course the desktop must be fairly close to the router and have an Ethernet NIC. Why introduce the difficulties of wireless unless needed, the Ethernet connection will be much stabler. You can network a win98 and winxp machine with few difficulties either way.

The easiest, quickest, way is with a router* and two ethernet patch cables. That is if you are connected with ADSL or CABLE modem.\n\nIf you are connected to the internet via dialup your best option is a modem for each computer and take turns. There is a dialup** router but a dialup speeds it will be painful. You will still need 2 ethernet patch cables but you will also need an external modem***\n\nThrid option is to use a ethernet crossover cable and ICS (Start>Program>Accessiores>Communications>Network Setup Wizard) in windows to allow the Computer #2 to access the dialup connection of computer #1.\n\nThree options.

- Goto MyCompter.\n- Right mouse button click.\n- Choose Device Drivers\n- Find your Ethernet controller card.\n- If it is not listed there then install the driver which is accompanied with your ethernet card(either CD/floppy).\n- Or find is there any backup available in your hard disk.\n- Or goto the ethernet card home page and download the driver for the model number.\n- Click setup.exe\n- Follow the instructions.\n- all the best.\n--------------------

Got to the connection tab in your Internet Explorer properties.  Use the connection wizard in there to set up for a connection that is always on...best to use the manual set up in the wizard.\n\nBe sure you have your ethernet cards drivers installed and the device manager shows the NIC card in the hardware profile before you run the wizard.

DSL is very simple to connect.  Are you connecting it with ethernet or USB?  With ethernet, you should be up and ready to go as soon as you complete the installation and configuration.  Through USB, you have to install the drivers before plugging in the modem.

link your lap top to your pc via ethernet cable you should be able to operate the laptop

why yes there is. People are thinking tooo locally. \n\nOn the same motherboard there is no way they can work togeather.  HOWEVER!!! if you have an intel pc and an AMD pc you can use a cluster program to create a computer cluster which is essentially the same as the chips being in the main node of the cluster the only difference is rather then being on one board connected by cirutry they are on two boards connected by ethernet or firewire cables or fiberoptic. \n\nNote i said ethernet firewire or fiber DO NOT try using wireless it will not have the through put you need. Even ethernet is going to be a little slow unless your usning gigabit ethernet

Usb2 is ~480mbps, ethernet speed varies, from 10mbps to 10000mbps but most newer pcs have 1000mbps ethernet

The cheapest fastest (and easiest to boot) way would be to buy a USB wireless adapter.  It would give you the capability of hooking into any wireless network, including a home router or wi-fi.\n\nFYI, a lot of hotel rooms also have ethernet ports.  Not all, and it's not wireless, but it's a high speed connection while travelling.  Make sure you know your options, if possible, before you travel.

from your cable or DSL modem connect the ethernet cable to the router input.  Install and configure using the CD which came with the router.  During the installation process it checks the connectivity and you are on if its passed.  Couple of tips though.  \n\n1. Change the default SSID\n2. Never broadcast the SSID (make sure the broadcast option is uncheked)\n3. Set up a 64/128 bit WEP key\n\nOnce you done the above then all your wireless adapters can pick up the signal once you set up with the authentication.

By Cat 5 ethernet hub or direct connection using USB (null) cable or by wireless (802.11g).

YOu don't give enough information about your system setup.\nFIrst of all, you don't need software, most likely, so dump it.\n\nIs your computer ethernet cable attached directly to the modem?  Or is there a router too?\n\nIf no router and just a modem and computer and ...\nIf the modem is lit up, showing data, then, you can try to reset the basic IP setting in the windows software.\n\nFirst step, power down the modem, and wait a minute or so. Then power it back on. Then follow the instructions below.\n\nGo to START, Run, and type in the word, COMMAND..  When at the black screen prompt, type in IPCONFIG  /RELEASE\nthere is a space between the first word and the forward slash\nThen type in IPCONFIG  /RENEW\nremember the space between the first word and the slash!\n\nAlso note that after each instruction, it might take a moment for the computer to resolve the command. \nOnce you are back at the prompt, Exit from the command line window. Now...\n\nSee if that works.  Try to connect to the internet. Does it work?  Yes?  NO?   Let me know.  Email me if you want with exact details and I will try to help.

buy a router, plug the ethernet cable into the router, have 2 more ethernet cables to plug 1 into the computer and 1 into the xbox

your ethernet port may be bad or maybe you need to reinstall your network drivers
