Yeah, you could use X-over cables straight to the PC's, but it would be more usual to use regular cable and plug everything into the switch.
The thing to think about now would be how are the PC's accessing the net, and what IP addresses do they have (if any), is your adsl NAT or NONAT?
Straight through cables for the PC's to connect to the switch is fine - just any regular CAT5 will do.
Have you got some kind of ADSL router? Or just a wall-box?
Does anyone know about configuring static routes in AIX?
route -expire n ........
Apparently this command will specify the expiration metric used by a routing protocol to the value "n", which must be a positive integer. But what exactly is the expiration metric? Is this like a Time...
This kind of raises more questions than it answers;
Is this just 1 network, or multiple? If only "small" as you say, then having 2 routers is probably not necessary, also - your switch has VLAN capabilities, so have you thought about separating network traffic by creating multiple...
A wireless Access-Point really is just a hub/bridge anyway, and there's no prob with mixing wired and wireless. In fact the most common implementation is a mixture of the two, with AP's having one interface on the wired side of the network, and one interface on the wireless.
If you've already...
If you find that that the wireless PC's on your network are running really slowly, but that all the other PC's are OK, then the reason for the slow wireless connection speed is almost certainly down to re-transmission of frames. This will be due to either a high number of collisions, or...
Hi Jim,
If you can't connect to the AP, then the reasons could be:
incorrect IP address
incorrect network name
incorrect password
Beyond that, you have no option but to re-set the AP.
This can be a bit fiddly - but the full instructions should be on the Orinoco web-site. Personally, I've...
