Direct cable

[RGC]

Is there a way to add a direct cable link to my 10/100 network? I get alot of older systems and laptops without cd roms in for repairs. I need to find a fast easy way to add software. <p>R & G Computers<br><a href=mailto:rafales@carnegienet.net>rafales@carnegienet.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

You'd have to install a network client etc. to even think of connecting dsirectly to a netwrok.&nbsp;&nbsp;Set up a desktop system contected to your network and transfer software to it as needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;Direct cable link to the desktop system for downloads. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...

Thanks, I have a IBM PS1 25mhz with a cd. I'll set it up. Better yet, maybe an ext. cd rom! <p>R & G Computers<br><a href=mailto:rafales@carnegienet.net>rafales@carnegienet.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

If you use an external CD, then once again you will need to install drivers on every laptop you work on.&nbsp;&nbsp;The direct cable connection, at least, doesn't leave any junk behind on the machine. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...

I was playing around last night and hooked up a direct cable to my network server. The guess could only see DC host and not entire network, I got the main network running Wingate, for internet sharing, and now I have DC and RJ-45. It was nice last night I was downloading Winbrench on 1, my wife was downloading Netscape4.72-56bit on 2, my son was surfing on 3, and I was loading Corel on DC at the same time. <p>R & G Computers<br><a href=mailto:rafales@carnegienet.net>rafales@carnegienet.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
