Ethernet
For an Ethernet network you need:
■ An Ethernet card installed
in each desktop computer
- OR -
An Ethernet jack on each
desktop and notebook
computer
- OR -
An Ethernet PC Card installed in each notebook computer
■ An Ethernet hub or switch with enough ports for each computer and
device in the network (hubs are slightly cheaper than switches but may
run slower than switches)
■ Ethernet cable going from each computer to the hub or switch
Important All Ethernet components should be either standard Ethernet
(10 Mbps) or Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps). A mixture of Ethernet
and Fast Ethernet components will result in your network
running at the slower speed.
