An RJ-45 connector typically has 8 wires that connect to the various endpoints. Coaxial wire has only 2. It is always easier to work with cat 5. BTW, if you are trying to use cheap home cable wire, let me tell you that that is not well suited. I think that has a impedance of 50 ohms ( per meter or something, not sure about the unit) but the proper coaxial wire of networking has 75 ohms (which has how the interface is designed in the NIC). Sharad PS: I have tried using the cable TV coaxial cable when I was very young :p --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ l...@iitd mailing list -- group http://groups.google.com/group/iitdlug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
