Bob,
it should be possible to attach more than hundred stations on 10base2 as you
mention it.
It looks like there is a problem with your cable. Can you take a ohm-meter
and assure there is no
short-cut in the cable.?.
always make sure there is an T-connector on every station. even when only
attaching 1 cable.
So never attach the cable directly to a network card or hub/repeater. It
will absolutely not
work, it will lose it's 50ohm.
you can also test your wire by attaching a terminator directly to the cable
in stead of attaching it to a network card.
in that way you can test the cable itself.
Succes !
