Some old Farallon ethernet cards will work with an eMate's PCMCIA slot. Specifically: PN895 - EtherWave PC Card PN595-TP - EtherMac PC Card (10Base-T) PN595-C - EtherMac PC Card Combo (10Base-T and thinnet) Dual function PC cards (e.g. modem & ethernet) do not work.
You do not have to connect your router to your PC via ethernet cable, you can instead connect via wi-fi and your router must be connected to your hub.
Use a straight through cable, just as you would with a hub or switch.
On a hub network:The host (PC-A) computer sends the frame out its Network Interface Card (NIC) to Fast-Ethernet 0/1 (F0/1) on the HUB. The HUB then sends that frame out every interface (except incoming interface). If the destination MAC address is aaa.bbb.ccc, and PC-B has MAC address aaa.aaa.bbb, then PC-B's NIC will ignore the frame and nothing else will happen.
A straight cable is used to connect a PC to a hub, switch, or router.
The role of the ethernet port on a PC is to allow internet to be connected. Without an ethernet port, there is no place for the computer to be connected to the internet.
You have to have a Ethernet or Wireless card in your PC, then you can connect via Ethernet cable or wireless.
Yes, you can. Connect them via an ethernet hub (router preferred) and run the connection wizard on both the console and the PC. This will allow you to browse your PC's media content (video, audio, pictures) from your Xbox 360 console.
No. You need to connect the ethernet cable to a modem or router. You can disconnect the PC ethernet cable from the modem and connect an ethernet cable from the Xbox 360 to the modem until you purchase a router.
I have a PC, laptop and xbox running and i have a modem and router downstairs with a wire leading upstairs then a netgear high speed hub splitting my connection 3 ways to my PC etc , but i don't think u need a hub if your router has multiple ethernet slots.
I think you could use either a standard Ethernet cable or a Crossover cable in that case. However I am only about 90% on this but if anyone has a better answer feel free.
If for instance you have a PC connected to the internet with an ethernet cable at a cable modem you can unplug the ethernet cable to the PC at the modem and Plug in a ethernet cable from the PS3 to the modem and a connection to the internet is possible. If the PC and PS3 are close enough you can just unplug the PC ethernet cable at the PC and move it over to the PS3. The first time you do this you need to go to the PS3 network setting and auto set the network settings. When you are done using the PlayStation 3 you just unplug the ethernet cable for the PS3 from the modem and plug the PC cable back into the modem for the PC to go back online or switch the cable back if it was close enough. When you get tired of doing this just purchase a router and plug the PS3 and PC into the router and plug the router into the modem.
