| 3484.1 | Wrong number of crossovers? | NETCAD::BATTERSBY | Don't use time/words carelessly | Tue Apr 23 1996 13:53 | 10 |
| I just asked someone about the utp port on most laptops & PC's
and the answer I got was that they usually have an internal
crossover. So if you were using a crossover cable between the
900EE and the laptop you had an even number of crossovers. The 900EE
doesn't have an internal crossover on its utp ports.
so if you are getting consistent timeouts in this config, maybe
you just need to change the cable between the laptop utp port
and the 900EE utp port to a straight-thru cable.

| Charlie,
The adapters with the HI-note that they gave us typically can't sustain
any network load. Mine has NEVER been able to upgrade anything at all!
I've always used the ROAMABOUT to do it.
there is a 30%+ failure rate on the Ethernet card....i'd seriously
think about a gnu card,

| 3484.3 | Can't handle the load?... What load? :-) | NETCAD::BATTERSBY | Don't use time/words carelessly | Wed Apr 24 1996 13:19 | 6 |
| Wow! They can't sustain *any* traffic load including when
there's *nothing* else for traffic between the HI-note and a
900EE?? Now *that's* astounding! What make are the offending
adapters just out of curiosity?

| 3484.4 | Xircom - sux | PTOJJD::DANZAK | | Thu Apr 25 1996 12:18 | 8 |
| I believe that they are XIRCOM....I have *NEvER* been able to use it to
successfully download ANYTHING - under any real type of load - it dies.
In the office - my connections die. Haven't had time to get it
replaced and go thru the paperwork etc. - Right now we don';t have
time to spend with customers that we need to focus on - let alone have
5 SEs in our region all do the same task 5 times to get updated
adapters etc.....(aarugh),

| 3484.5 | Like the little birdie said...."cheap cheap cheap".... | NETCAD::BATTERSBY | Don't use time/words carelessly | Thu Apr 25 1996 13:25 | 6 |
| They must be dirt cheap....probably the default supplier that our
purchasing people are allowed to buy from.
Another wonderful example of getting what one gets when some buyer
who knows zip about quality adapters sees a "deal".
