Re: Network Troubles

I found a page at XLR8 your Mac where users reported dealing with non apple pci gigabit cards. It turns out a lot of them, or at least more than enough are compatible with 10.4x without any special drivers. I got a used one coming from eBay. I was looking at my hard drives and they are

Re: Network Troubles

You guys have been telling me that DA G4 is probably the slowest thing on my network. I looked up the specs and the ethernet port is 10T, 100T, 1000T. I am pretty sure that means gigabyte. I have been looking at PCI cards and there don't seem to be any listed G4 Mac compatible gigabit cards

Re: Network Troubles

Thanks for the help. I just upgraded to tenfourfox 38.2.1 and it's noticeably slower. But there is other things going on because it wasn't too fast to begin with. The two slowest things on my network are most likely the G4 and a series 2 TiVo with a usb network adapter. Everything else, my tv,
