Hello I sort of have this right now. I have two racks. One rack has 10 Mac Servers running thur a 3Com Switch. The other rack, which is not hooked up yet, has 5 Pc's , running Win 2K server, with just a plain out 12 port hub running into them.
My question is this, can I run the one hub, 3Com Switch..into my ADSL modem? Is this possible? Do I need some type of "dog tail" , (lack of better terms there), to hook two into one. I never knew this but most DSL providers have upscale options. I just upscaled to 8mb down and 4 to 6 mb up. I had no idea ADSL could handle this speed. Anyway..any ideas? Thanks -----Original Message----- From: G-List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Len Gerstel Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 7:16 AM To: G-List Subject: Cross platform networking question We are getting ready to move our store and have 2 seperate networks now with 4 Macs and 5 pcs. One is an Appletalk over Localtalk cabling (mostly used for sending small files, under 100k and printing, it is a hold over from IIsi days, but it works and I didn't want to pull new cable). The systems are all beige G3s running 9.2 The other is a standard TCP/IP windows with an NT 4 server (I do have 2000 server, I just haven't installed it) with primarily win 98 clients. A couple of questions: 1) Can I use the same Hub/switch (say a 16 port) for the apple network as the win network? 2) our current net connection is through a dialup. When we get a high speed (dsl) connection, can we just plug the router into this hub and use it for the connection to the net? besides the standard security issues with wintel, is there anything else I need to watch out for?
