It is a classic signal/noise ratio problem given in digital communication class. The speed depends on the signal/noise ratio. Any splitter used will lower down the signal noise ratio and consequently lower down your speed. However, if the internet is very slow, the problem may be interferrence...

In linux, you can decide which interface to use l. For example. in samba, you can do it easily by editing smb.conf. I am not sure about windows, since I never used windows as server. It may depend on the configuration of the service. It may be called "binding".

If you are using character interface, it will be much faster.

Netspace 6.x or mozilla will be installed into /usr/local/mozilla by default. Type /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla to launch it. However, the link does not work.

First of first, check out your kernel. RH 7.2 installs a precompiled kernel. On my Duron box, it always installs a kernel compiled for Athlon/Duron, although there is a bug in VIA KT133A chipset that cause kernel pamic. The problem on Cyrix 166+ may be not so serious. However, customizing the...

My solution 1. cat5 crossover cable --- $5 Connet two computer with this cable. Now, you have a LAN. 2. 10/100Mbps NIC --- $10 Put it on one of those two computers and connet this interface to you DSL gateway. 3. Linux --- $0 Install it on the computer with two NICs. Go to...
