I don't know if I was the last person running token or not, but if I was you can have my title if you get this working. I assume you have RJ45 token ports? I avoided these and stuck with all "serial"...

What you are trying to do is fugly without the right hardware. The right hardware and configuration would be pricey.

The best shot at a "free" solution might be to write a line of code before the...

OK unless you have turned off routing somehow you must have different networks on each interface of a router. Since four of those ports are really just switchports off an internal interface that...

Nope, you should be good. You will either need to use an uplink port on one/both of the switches or a crossover cable to connect the switches together, after that it should all be interchangeable.

Thanks for the link!

Are your wired PC's DHCP? You stated that they work, is your manual IP in the same subnet as the working wired devices? Do they have the same defautl gateway?

You say you...

Wow man, you don't have an easy fix. I don't know what your budget is but I will tell you what I run in my house:
- Cisco PIX 501
- Cisco 2912 switch
- Cisco 340 Aironet AP (yeah the old VxWorks...

The address it was getting would have been a 169 address, basically a MS code for a failled DHCP negotiation. A "MAC Filter" can be put on most AP's to block or permit certain MAC addresses (you will...

Usually this is because either the MAC is on a block list or the WEP key the PC is sending doesn't match what the AP is looking for for that SSID.

Are you using the default SSID?
Did you set a...

Also when you view your wireless connections, what is your status, number of packets sent, and number of packets recieved?

basic internet connectivity should pretty much work with nothing more than a 10 port hub and a router that can do NAT if not provided by the DSL provider. You can pick up a SoHo router from Linksys...

Core switch is a concept, like the OSI model. There are certain settings that will normally be associated with core switches.

If you could spend a little time on Cisco's website pages like this...

Core, distribution, and access switches are mostly conceptual. One switch might be an access switch for one company and a core switch for another. The manufacturers will MARKET different switches...

The OSI model is a 7 layer model, TCP/IP a 4 layer model because it doesn't need to carefully identify things outside of OSI layers 3 & 4 since that will be left up to the media on the low end and...

This may help or hurt but here is a real basic example of how the layers work.

7-Person types words in a new email and clicks SEND
6-Outlook knows it needs to use HTLM formatting for message...

I use the OSI to remember what kinds of Pizza to keep (Sausage) and which ones get Thrown Away.

It may be quite old now but Jason Nash had a very nice description in his MCSE study guide (NT4) for...

I have worked on some 128k and 256k DSL lines that were quite slow. You might want to set your MTU to 1492 and see if it helps with the speed.

Also, I would pull up Windows Task Manager and watch...

They probably wont be "sharing" the bandwidth, especially if downloading is going on. If you got a high end switch you could rate limit the ports to the wired pc and the wireless AP but that is about...

If the proxy was deployed correctly you will have to use it, probably 98% likely you are hosed and have to play by the rules. Probably the easiest way to do the things people are stopping you from...

It depends, if it is really just a switch utilization issue than yes, it COULD help. If it is spyware/virus infected PC's bombing your network with traffic then it probably won't help.

A good...

Orange can mean many different things, probably that it has negotiated a 10Mbps connection. You can look up your NIC model and see what it means, or check out your system logs/current status it will...

Hi Arati,

As a general rule I use PAT to conserve on IP's. The exception is this: if you are merging two companies that have the same IP subnets you can use a 1-1 NAT pool to get them working...

I suggest the 98 box get a 3.x version of VNC (I use TightVNC at home, RealVNC for work stuff) and set it to run in server mode (remember to undo this later) and set a password. The 4.x versions do...

Given all that info I have to ask, can anyones wireless laptop see your AP or is it only accessable thru the wired network for anyone?

by chance have you successfully used the wireless at a coffee shop or someplace? I would just like to rule out that whole bunch of stuff at once.

Is WEP set at either end? If so do the key numbers...

Is the pc set to connect to unsecure networks?

Is the AP broadcasting the SSID?

Also if you plug your pc into the motorola and it works, then you plug in the router without rebooting the motorola it will not work. Make sure that you power off the motorola anytime you change what...

I would return the cable router, put the motorola back in and reboot it, get a ethernet router with wireless, plug it's outside port into the network port on the motorola, and try it again.

I bought all mine for between 50 - 150$ US, so I guess that is relative. I don't think you will find any brand cheaper new or for much less used so I would go with it as long as they promise no DOA.

AIR-PCM340 is the part number I am using in three laptops here at home. I have used many 340's and 350's for different clients and I consider them interchangable for home users. The 350 is...

Wow, you are in great shape then.

If you go to the store and pick up a card off the shelf you will probably need to get a external cdrom for the 560 or a "parrallel port backpack cdrom" (use the...

Welcome to DaniWeb, I hope I can help point you in the right direction. Yes people have been using wireless on 560's for a long time, the trick is installing the software to make them work!

Since...

Ancy, at first glance it looks good. Can you add a "show vlan" from the switch?

It is just a ethernet switch / AP with 802 compliance. If people use macs at an internet cafe, they are probably using these or Dlinks.

We all have something to offer, maybe you can offer advice to a mac newbie who is shopping for a used G4 sometime.

On your networking question:
- first the splitter is no problem, I would leave...

There has got to be million ways to skin this cat. Here is one piece of logic to consider, I haven't written a line of code in 16 years, please excuse my lack proper formating. You could check for...

Here is how I do a quick lockdown:

Make sure the server is fully patched before you begin.

Run a port scan on the ip from the local segment, take note of all ports that respond.

OMG, I think Cisco should be paying daniweb for marketing after this post!

All kidding aside, that is most definately the path to the dark side.

I have seen people "split" cables like this, it won't accomplish exactly what you are trying to achieve. Since the brown and...

kc0arf has the correct answer, do it the right way. Get a hub or switch with a couple straight cables and be done with it.
