3. Unlike Ethernet, Token Ring uses a ring topology whereby the data is sent from

one machine to the next and so on around the ring until it ends up back where it

started. It also uses a token passing protocol which means that a machine can

only use the network when it has control of the Token, this ensures that there are

no collisions because only one machine can use the network at any given time.

Can you change the frame type of an Network Interface card in an Ethernet network be used in a token ring network?

no. The differences between ethernet and token ring are greater then the frame type. Ethernet uses CDMA and token ring uses.....well a token. Token ring adapters have an on-board processor for source route bridging which uses a RIF field and ethernet has nothing of the sort. There are many more examples, but the simple answer is it will not work. fm
