Frank,
Thanks for replying...
Why only NICs older than a few monthes? Are they coming out with WinEthernet Adapters ( like WinModems )?
Or are you simply stating that the drivers may not be available?
Yeah, I know about the cheapness of 10BaseT
cards... but since my other comp. already has a 10/100 card, I would rather go all the way to 100Mbs... and from what I have seen
alot of 10/100 NICs are pretty cheap now too... ~$20 or lower for some cards... Is there any reason to stay at 10Mbs? Is it easier to set up a 10Mbs network under Linux/Samba than a 100Mbs network?
This is also my first time setting up a network so hopefully everything will work out okay... I will try to get the two computers speaking together in Windows first... then try for a Samba connection in Linux... then I am going to try to be able to get an Internet connection on the Linux machine through the other machine... (cross your fingers!)
Thanks,
-Nate
