A certain computer on your fast ethernet network seems to be acting sluggish?

c: By modifying the NIC properties through the operating system.


Why is my wireless Internet only going 8.8 Mbps when it goes 43 Mbps wired?

A person is limited as to how fast their Internet can go when it is connected wirelessly. A person should connect to their modem with an ethernet cable whenever possible.


Why are some fast ethernet ports on the switches are up and others are down?

If a FastEthernet port is set to down/down, there is most likely a physical issue with the switch. Typically, ports should be set to up/down.


For a Double story building that will require 2 computer labs with 50 pcs that will have fast access with a minimal interference. what is the best type of network model that can be used?

Your best solution would probably be an Ethernet network. With data speeds of 100 gigabits per second, it should provide the speed you require. Whatever file-server you want to use to manage all the terminals - is entirely up to you !.


Does having two network cards increase internet speed?

Simply having two network cards does not increase you internet speed. If those cards are connected to the Internet, they can increase your speed, your total speed being, in theory, the sum of the speeds of the connections attached to each of your two network cards. This setup however is problematic for home users, as requires a mechanism to balance the load on the two cards, can pose problems if you get to have multiple IP addresses etc. Most likely, your answer is "no". However, if you wish to connect to multiple ISP's and increase your network throughput that way, look into "load balancing" and "multi homing".

What is a PCI Fast Ethernet NIC card used for?

It is used to connect Fast Ethernet Networks together and it is connected to a PCI Slot located on your computer's Motherboard


How can you check to see if the fast Ethernet interface on a router is connected to a fast Ethernet interface on another networking device?

Just properties of the network card. The speed of connection is there. Knowing the speed and capabilities of the network card you are looking at, you can find out which interface is used at another end. PS: The speed you will see is the highest both devices can support in the same time.


Which port should you connect a router to a lan?

It shouldn't matter which port you use unless it involves a network switch.


Which is fast topology?

Topology means how the network is physically wired; it doesn't have anything to do with speed necessarily. Did you mean Fast Ethernet (100BaseTX)?

What is collison domain?

A collision domain is a physical network segment where data packets can collide with one another when being sent on a shared medium.A group of Ethernet or Fast Ethernet devices in a CSMA/CD LAN that are connected by repeaters and compete for access on the network. Only one device in the collision domain may transmit at any one time, and the other devices in the domain listen to the network in order to avoid data collisions.A collision domain is sometimes referred to as an Ethernet segment.

Do network adapters enable nodes in a network to communicate with each other?

Essentially, the answer is yes - what is required is a proper implementation of a network stack on each node (which will allow the user application to actually utilize the network adapter for communication), as well as a working physical connection between the two nodes abiding to standards. In these terms, an example of a most simple network based on Ethernet would be two PCs each equipped with a Fast Ethernet network adapter with installed drivers for their respective operating system, connected by a CAT5e 100BASE-TX UTP crossover cable.


Differences between Ethernet Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet?

The 'Ether' part of Ethernet denotes that the system is not meant to be restricted for use on only one medium type, copper cables, fibre cables and even radio waves can be used. Fast Ethernet Network was developed as an upgrade to traditional Ethernet Networking. Fast Ethernet improved traditional Ethernet by increasing transfer rates 10 times, from 10 Megabit to 100 Megabit speed. Gigabit Ethernet Network is an upgrade on Fast Ethernet Network equivalent to Fast Ethernet Networks improvement over Fast Ethernet Network, offering speeds of 1000 Megabits (1 Gigabit) Cisco have a good document with diagrams and a reasonable amount of depth that answers your questions on 10/100/1000 Ethernet. See related link. Ethernet card would be 10Mbps (mega bauds per second) Fast Ethernet card would be 100Mbps. Most ethernet cards sold today are Fast Ethernet or better. Look for the 100Mbps or the 10/100Mbps specification. The only difference between the both is the speed. Hence both cards are basically the same using the same technology except the fast Ethernet card can run on 10/100mb/s, an astonishing speed. Original 10Base2, 10Base5 and 10baseT Ethernet (thin coaxial cable, thick coaxial cable and twisted pair, respectively) specifications offered a 10Mbit/second throughput (data transfer rate). Although 1 Byte is 8 bits, 10Mbits in practice doesn't mean 1.25MBytes/second, because there's some extra information transferred. On average it can be seen as a ~1MByte/second link speed. Then new standards appeared, some of them exotic (like 100VG AnyLan), but the new Ethernet standard was 100baseTX, which used twisted pair (like 10baseT, but with slightly higher quality requirements - Category 5 cable). It has been called Fast Ethernet, as it offered 100Mbit/sec transfer speed, a 10-fold improvement. Usually all the network equipment can talk both 10baseT and 100baseTX (for example network switches have "10/100" ports). But this was not enough - then came a next speed-up: the 1000baseTX, still running on twisted pair, but with even higher cable quality requirements, offering 1000Mbit/s transfer speed, thus called Gigabit Ethernet: 1000 Mega = 1 Giga.
