Host Bus Adapter Features and Configuration Requirements\nThe following table describes some recommended SCSI and Fibre Channel host bus adapters. It includes information about adapter termination and how to use the adapters in single initiator SCSI buses and Fibre Channel interconnects.\n\nThe specific product devices listed in the table have been tested. However, other devices may also work well in a cluster. It is possible to use a host bus adapter other than a recommended one. The information in the table can help to determine if the device has the features and characteristics that will enable it to work in a cluster.\n\nTable A-3.

Go to the company website...they will have all the drivers you need.

First thing, you need to provide more information in order for a definative answer to given.\n  I checked the www site for Buslink\n\n http://www.buslink.com/B1/c_table.shtml\n\nthey have several flavors of external hard drive in the mix, USB 1, USB 2, Firewire, Serial ATA etc....\nDepending on the Model of your particular drive and assuming you have the proper interface on the new computer ie... USB 1, USB 2, etc.. You most likely just need to download the proper driver in order for it to work. You should be able to obtain the driver on the www site I listed above, just identify your external drive by model and download the appropriate driver, once downloaded install the driver, it will likely require a re-boot.\nNOTE: Most USB Devices 1.0 or 2.0 require that the device NOT be connected when you install the driver files. You install the drivers and once installation is completed and computer restarted connect the device and your computer should do a short initialization/installation of the device.\nOne more note: If your computer supports USB 2.0 the hardware drivers may and may not have it configured properly, a large number of PC's as pre-configured have the USB set up as USB 1, in order to have it recognised as USB 2 you may have to visit the Computer Manufacturers www site to obtain a patch to enable USB 2, the drivers for USB 2 are provided By Microsoft, but again they may not install without a patch from the Manufacturer making your USB 2 be set up as USB 1. In any case USB 2 devices tend to be backward compatible with USB 1 and will install and operate on it although at a lower data transfer speed.\n If you have any further questions feel free to contact me at fsebentley@direcway.com

I have found the best way is to use a hub. they are cheap and efficient. You need an ethernet card but unless your pc is old, it probably has one built into the MB.  Thanks for the question, It made me remember a question I had about my comp :)

YEP, it's built for speed and it has integrated busses to support 10Mbps/100Mbps and even 1,000Mbps Ethernet connections.  It also has an on board technology which speed up network through out in your system:\n\n Hyper-Transport Technology\n\nHyperTransport™ technology is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase the communication speed between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment up to 48 times faster than some existing technologies.\n\nHyperTransport™ technology helps reduce the number of buses in a system, which can reduce system bottlenecks and enable today's faster microprocessors to use system memory more efficiently in high-end multiprocessor systems.\n\nHyperTransport™ technology is designed to:\n\n    * Provide significantly more bandwidth than current technologies\n    * Use low-latency responses and low pin counts\n    * Maintain compatibility with legacy PC buses while being extensible to new SNA (Systems Network Architecture) buses.\n    * Appear transparent to operating systems and offer little impact on peripheral drivers.\n\nYou may have to purchase a 10/100 Ethernet PCI card but you should be all set with something off the shelf form Tiger Direct.  Call them and have on of their pre-sales techs help you get the hardware you need to get this bad boy system up and running for Internet gaming.

From what I can see, they do not supply drivers. You will probably just have to get drivers from the chipset manufactures.

you need to install the linux driver for the network card. If there is a native linux driver, then use that, otherwise, most people use a wrapper for their windows driver called ndiswrapper.\n\ngood luck

If they both have Ethernet RJ-45 jacks (network cards installed) then all you have to do is get a pier-to-pier cable and plug them both in.  No other hardware is required. \n\nThis cable is special in that the transmit and receive wires are switched on one end, so what one computer transmits, the other one receives, and vice versa. \n\nPlug them in and run the network setup wizard - you'll be in business.

Check out the same place you got the drivers.\n\nHP usually has everything you need on their site.  Just type in the model number.

What you need to do is open the file "C: &#92; WINDOWS &#92; system32 &#92; drivers &#92; etc &#92; hosts" in Notepad or any editor.  You will see the line:\n\n127.0.0.1       localhost\n\nUnderneath this, add another entry with 127.0.0.1 and your mydomain.xxx.  Use the localhost one as a guide.  If http://localhost:8080 works, and you want http://xyz:8080 to work, add the line:\n\n127.0.0.1       xyz\n\nOnce you do this, it should work.\n\n\n(sorry I had to put spaces in the path, it didn't look right otherwise because it changed the &#92; to the hex value)

Types of computer network\n\n1) A bus network is a network architecture in which a set of clients are connected via a shared communications line, called a bus. There are several common instances of the bus architecture, including one in the motherboard of most computers, and those in some versions of Ethernet networks.\n\nBus networks are the simplest way to connect multiple clients, but often have problems when two clients want to transmit at the same time on the same bus. Thus systems which use bus network architectures normally have some scheme of collision handing or collision avoidance for communication on the bus, quite often using Carrier Sense Multiple Access or the presence of a bus master which controls access to the shared bus resource.\n\nA true bus network is passive – the computers on the bus simply listen for a signal; they are not responsible for moving the signal along. However, many active architectures can also be described as a "bus", as they provide the same logical functions as a passive bus; for example, switched Ethernet can still be regarded as a logical bus network, if not a physical one. Indeed, the hardware may be abstracted away completely in the case of a software bus.\n\nWith the dominance of switched Ethernet over passive Ethernet, passive bus networks are uncommon in wired networks. However, almost all current wireless networks can be viewed as examples of passive bus networks, with radio propagation serving as the shared passive medium.\n\n\n2) Star networks are one of the most common computer network topologies. In its simplest form, a star network consists of one central switch, or hub computer which acts as a router to transmit messages.\n\nWhen applied to a bus-based network, this central hub rebroadcasts all transmissions received from any peripheral node to all peripheral nodes on the network, sometimes including the originating node. All peripheral nodes may thus communicate with all others by transmitting to, and receiving from, the central node only. The failure of a transmission line linking any peripheral node to the central node will result in the isolation of that peripheral node from all others, but the rest of the systems will be unaffected.\n\nIf the central node is passive, the originating node must be able to tolerate the reception of an echo of its own transmission, delayed by the two-way transmission time (i.e. to and from the central node) plus any delay generated in the central node. An active star network has an active central node that usually has the means to prevent echo-related problems.\n\n3) A ring network is a topology of computer networks where each node is connected to two other nodes, so as to create a ring. The most popular example is a token ring network.\n\nRing networks tend to be inefficient when compared to star networks because data must travel through more points before reaching its destination. For example, if a given ring network has eight computers on it, to get from computer one to computer four, data must travel from computer one, through computers two and three, and to its destination at computer four. It could also go from computer one through eight, seven, six, and five until reaching four, but this method is slower because it travels through more computers.\n\n4) Mesh networking is a way to route data, voice and instructions between nodes. It allows for continuous connections and reconfiguration around blocked paths by "hopping" from node to node until a connection can be established.\n\nMesh networks are self-healing: the network can still operate even when a node breaks down or a connection goes bad. As a result, a very reliable network is formed. This concept is applicable to wireless networks, wired networks, and software interaction.\n\nA mesh network is a networking technique which allows inexpensive peer network nodes to supply back haul services to other nodes in the same network. It effectively extends a network b
