Why would a mother board have 2 lan ports?

This is a feature that is mostly used in corporate environment to implement proxy functionality.  One port is connected to the outside world and the other is connected to the internal network, the computer can also be plugged into two independent sub-network

The comfiguration options are in control panel, internet, you choose lan.  And you either have to have USB 2.0 drivers or you have to have a NIC installed [physically, and drivers], depending on how you connect your computer to the modem.

Your EZ firewall turnsoff your Windows firewall. Why do you want 2 firewalls running at the same time?

Because your using a hub. \nIf you look and see the confilct light on your hub light up.\nthat means the 2 computers are trying to transmit at the same time. \nWhat happens is they both go into colision recovery mode in which they stop transmitting and then wait and re transmit.\n\nOn the Conflicting IP address, they both are getting the same IP from the cable modem, because the cable modem usually only gives you 1 additional IP. \nFix action - you can try to staticly set your IPs for each computer to 1 ip after your cable modem.  Or you can walk over to the store and get a wired or wireless router for your network\n(a router will fix all your problems)

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

DO NOT KNOW , BUT I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE LAN

u can connect 2 computers with out using any hardware only juss a small cable only. called "crossover cable" u can make it in home if u had a hardware knowledg.\nor else contact u r nearst system dealer.\n\nthis cable is connects the 2 systems using lan card.

The current limit on your motherboard is 2GB.

A new motherboard will almost certainly cost less than a PCI-to-PCI adapter - and anyhow, where would the cards physically go?\n\nYou also may wish to consider using USB or Firewire/1394 peripherals instead of using PCI cards.

You may check\n- BIOS for enable PCI Ethernet cards\n- Driver if it is up-to-date\n- Driver is for this OS\n- Using another PCI slot in case, may be the PCI slot is not working.\n- Mark be as best answer may help you also\n\nXLMan

AN RJ45 Connector can be connected directy into the port of a switch and LAN Card!

which port does it control? sometime you can buy pcmcia cards to do some functions. you wont find an individual chip whithout full numbers. and good luck soldering. MIKE

It the connecting of 2 or more computers... to share resources.\n\nPlain and simple.

Your laptop probably also comes with an ethernet port, so if your PC has one you can link them with a special crossover cable.  Or you could prepare for more computers being linked to the same LAN by using a network hub and standard ethernet cables.

An NIC is a Network Interface Card, and usually a seperate card in your machine to give you an ethernet port.  You might have an ethernet port (RJ45) on your motherboard already without having an NIC - just look for an ethernet port (RJ45) which is like a normal phone port only slightly larger.

you can't have 2 graphics card at the same time in that computer (they would confusing each other). for that purpose you need a SLI mainboard.

I have no idea.  This is the computer networking area.  Please resubmit your question in the appropriate area.  Thanks.
