Just to make sure you are forewarned, if you try to use Samba as a PDC for Win2k boxes with sp2, you might run into problems. When sp2 was released, things were apperently changed enough to prevent joining a Samba 2.2.0 controled domain. To get around this, you could download the current Samba...

ScreaminSoulman, if you search for "FA311" on this page, you will find mentioned that a small number of FA311 cards were programed with incorrect identification information. That might explain why your card is being detected as a FA312. A utility is provided to reprogram the card...

Yes, assuming that there are no problems with the cable, it should be able to do either 10 or 100 Mbps. I have a paper somewhere that tells what all of the different meenings are for the codes on cables, like the "LG" on yours. I have no idea where that might be now, but I wouldn't...

Gillbot, The cable that you have appears to be a crossover cable. The four missing wires are not used in 10BaseT or 100BaseTX. If you are connecting a computer to a hub or switch, then you will probably want a stright through cable, in which case the cable you have would not work. If you want...

I am something of a freshmen in the world of networking, so I could be way off here, but I think that a switch could have slightly higher latency because it has to process the frame headers (or possibly entire frames). Because of this, a hub could be better in some situations. Also, packet...

Just one of those details that haven't quite been worked out yet... :)

Personaly, I always thought that these boards that SS59 and I found a while back would be the ultimate crack rack board. ;)

Just asslaminated the networking lab at school. I figure about 10 PIII 600s, 10 PII 266s, and 1 400 G4 Mac. Unfortionetly, they won't be on constantly, but it is better than nothing. ;) http://stats.distributed.net/rc5/psummary.php3?id=339269

Personaly, I think those AlphaServer SC Series thingies look kind of interesting. That would probably be something I would consider if I were to become obscenely rich. :)

Happy Holidays, and lets not forget HAPPY VACATION FROM SCHOOL for all those who have one. ;)

I officialy cast my votes for no one. I feel that there are just too many great people on the team. Keep up the great work everyone!

PinBall: If the issue would just be my making money from winning, I would agree to give anything that I won using the school computers to the school or a charity of their choice or something. Unfortionetly, being a long time team anandtecher, I would want to put any computers on the team, and...

I have access to several hundred pentium II and pentium !!! computers at school. If only there wasn't that thing about using the school's computers/network for personal gain (the chance of winning $1,000 would get me in trouble). :(

Jay, good luck in what ever projects you might start, and may your brake be relaxing. :)

If your computer and your friend's computer have recently exchanged a message directly with each other using ICQ (if a message has been sent directly to you or your friend's computer, not through the ICQ servers), you might be able to find you friend's IP address by using netstat at a command...
