I open To your brain


I want to ask you about the rule of IEEE what you think of this....can you help me to learn about this rule...thanks

hey dude i just sent you a PM about double posting and smileys! Give it a read!

Anyway back to topic, i learnt about this in cisco last year and i know it related to an international standard for networking compliance, or something similar, to ensure that a network card bought in china will work in the UK etc....without it i dont think the internet would have evolved so far so fast. And it would make networking a lot more difficult without it!

PS you should edit your message and take out the smileys incase a mod in a bad mood finds them! And take a look at the readme and rules too so you dont get in trouble! And delete the other post the same as this!

I want to ask you about the Networking media what advantages and disadvantages using coaxial cable for my network what you think of this....can you help me to learn about it...thanks

thanks before
but what about WinHEC
can i get one of the video of this????

Networking media: Coaxial is basically phased out nowadays and replaced by UTP or Fiber mainly becuase it is much easier to install either of these and the network cards for coaxial, the T joins, are harder to get.

the advantages of coaxial is it is easier to impliment a ring network toplogy because of the connectors (i assume!)

dude you should seriously edit those two post and merge them into one and remove the smileys or youre gonna end up gettin banned or something

Coax has only 1 advantage you easy add an extra computer in the network.
There are several disadvantages :

Coax cable is more expensive then UTP cable.
It's harder to make a coax cable then an UTP cable.
With coax you need some T connectors and terminators.
With coax if the cable is bad, the entire network is down.
The max speed of coax is 10 BaseT or (10 Mbit/s).

So if you are making a new network you should use UTP (100 Mbit or 1Gbit).
You cn do this with UTP cable Cat 5 (or higher) and 1 (or more) Switches.

Fibre optics is only used for long distances and is far more expensive then UTP.
