All Macs with built in Ethernet up to the beige G3 only had 10 Base built in. So thats why you aren't getting 100 Mbps speeds, your routers switch is scaling to the 10 Base speeds.
---------- Original Message ------------- Subject: Ethernet on lowendmacs Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2003 11:39:24 -0400 From: Richard Majchrzak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Quadlist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Are the standard ethernet ports on post G3 macs (ie..7200's,9600's,8500's,etc...) compatible with todays Linksys EtherFast Cable routers/modems? Reason, When I plug these macs up to Linksys routesr, I never get a full 100Mps connection speed. Do I need to buy newer PCI NIC's, if so, are there mac drivers for these cards or just pc drivers. I hope I've explained this right, I am kind of new to this whole networking thing. Bare with me, and thanks for any help. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
