Regarding the Ethernet cable types... >From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable: "Although 1000BASE-T was designed for use with Cat 5 cable, the tighter specifications associated with Cat 5e cable and connectors make it an excellent choice for use with 1000BASE-T."
>From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_6: # Cat 5: Currently unrecognized by TIA/EIA. Provided performance of up to 100 MHz, and was frequently used on 100 Mbit/s ethernet networks. May be unsuitable for 1000BASE-T gigabit ethernet. # Cat 5e: Currently defined in TIA/EIA-568-B. Provides performance of up to 100 MHz, and is frequently used for both 100 Mbit/s and gigabit ethernet networks. # Cat 6: Currently defined in TIA/EIA-568-B. It provides performance of up to 250 MHz, more than double category 5 and 5e. -- greg reagle | computer technician, system administrator | community it innovators - CITI | 202-234-1600 ext. 353 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:edubuntu-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of uwe geercken > Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 8:54 AM > To: Edubuntu Users Group > Subject: Re: Flash slow > > Gavin, > > I have set LDM_DIRECTX=True but I don't even know if it works. > > the clients respond very quick on e.g. opening folders or applications. > but I noted that the network goes up to 100% when playing the flash > tutorial. also with gnash. if I run it on the server the same tutorial > runs well, so I guess it is not a codec issue. > > could it be that the CAT5 cable is an issue?
