want 100mbps networks

linux1880 · 05-28-2004, 01:26 PM

I have

10/100 mbps NIC
Cat 5e cable
10/100 mbps hub

and running 2000 pro. But my network is connection at 10mbps. Is there any chances that I can make all machine running at 100mbps with the same equipments?

i dont think so, but all you have to do is replace your cable

If you have a cat 5e cable then there's no reason why it shouldn't be able to run at 100 mbps, it could take 1000mbps.

try right clicking on my computer (on desk top

) click properties, click hardware tab, click device manager, clikc the plus by network adapters, double click the network adapter, click advanced and make sure that it is on auto mode or 100mbps FULL DUPLEX.

Hope that helps.

Also, make sure that there is absolutely nothing on the hub that runs at only 10 mbps.

I've been told that there are some hubs that if there is even one item connected to it at 10 mbps, then everything that gets connected to it will run at only 10 mbps.

Try getting a cross over cable and plug it between the two computers (without hub) and then try, if so, it's the hub, if not one of the network cards is setup wrongly/broken

Could be posible with crossover.
It is strange for me but some hubs not working on 100mb with straight cable

Easier fix...

GET RID OF THE HUB!!!

They're SLOW, outdated, and an overall pain in the side!

Go with a full duplex switch man... it's the only way and not too much more expensive...
