Thier is a cable running from my cable jack to a white box. Thier is a network cable running from the white box to a blue box with antennas on it. That is all I know.

What doesn't work?

Might be you need a cross-over or straight cable to connect it, vs the one you are currently using. Some have autosensing ports, but, if you connect two together with autosensing they can sometimes get stuck.

Cisco 24-port connected to a Dell 16 port via standard cabling. The same Cisco connected to Linksys 16 port rackmount by standard cabling. Cisco is on a server rack - the other two (unmanaged) switches are central in the basement and top floor. Those damn "quickport" wall jacks are then attached to the switches (Eventually I mean to install patch panels between the wall jacks and the switches). Looking at roughly 1 mile of CAT5e, all _HAND CRIMPED_ and 2-4 network ports in a normal room, with 8 ports dedicated to this room alone (This room will be getting it's own 16-port Linksys rack switch at some point or another)

And I *highly* recommend the Linksys EF3116 switch for any home PnP networking application. I like it almost as much as the Cisco, and it beats the pants off the crappy $80 Dell for only $100.

Regular phone line dialup connection into the phone jack on the Apple Airport, an RJ45 to my PC's NIC, and 802.11b with WEP enabled to the iMac in the other room.

Internet comes in in my roommate's room into his router, then to his access point, his signal booster, and his switch. I've got a 100' cable running from his switch, I think, to my router in my room. I've got two computers on my router. He's got several desktops on his, I think (hardly ever on since he's rarely here), and sometimes his and his gf's laptops.

Basically,

I have WirelessISP connected to Dlink704 Router. I have PC's connected to that.
I have an MR814 connected as well, which I'm using only as a switch and a WAP for the laptop
My friend and I bridged our networks using a pair of Dlink900AP's (Not '+').
He shares my internet.

Sweet, where's that hotspot so I can get in on the fun?

I'm working on connecting to my neighbor who's (just recently) got DSL now. Plan to have manual failover to his gateway if/when our wISP goes down. I'd like to use a Nexland Pro 800 and loadbalance the WAN.... but since Symantec bought them out the price has only gone up.

Maybe I'll get fancy and build a linux machine to do that... not yet though.

Anyone else know of a cheap(er) appliance that loadbalances WAN, and/or supports failover?

This is your lucky day: XC-DPG402 Twin WAN Router uses ?Load-Balancing? @ $249 with free shipping

Two computers hooked up through an HPNA 2.0 phoneline network - my parents computer is connected to the cable modem, and I leech off of them. It's a 10mbps connection over the phonelines in my house, and I bought the cards for 10 bucks on ebay bwhaahahha

 

[thomsbrain]

cable modem - Linksys router with 2 computers plugged in, and one hub on the other side of the house, which has another two plugged into it

hehehe,

i put my switch BEFORE the router and my VOIP get's it's own Comcast External IP address. yes, i'm special.

i figure it will be less down time as the router can go down but my VOIP would still work.
