Another network question about cable
Ok I am on dial-up (boonies no choice) I got a steal on WebRamp analog 200i router. I want to have 2 win/2000 on line. Now that I am reading the manual I says I need (10baseT) network cable and cards. I had not ever worked with this before. Is this a slow network. I had read that they have 10 & 100 transfer rate. I can not seem to see what this router speed is. It has a built in 56k modem. Hope I am makeng sense.

10Base-T is the slowest twisted-pair ethernet network speed (more common these days is 100, and 1 gigabit hardware is starting to be seen more) . It is far faster than dialup, so it won't impact your Internet use, but if you set up a local network for file sharing and so forth, transfers will be relatively slow.

you may not find any 10base-t network cards, any 10/100 card will work just fine, it will default to the 10 base speed.
also use the standard cat-5 cable for your connections, it is all compatiable. |

on a dial up connection, I don't think you will have the same IP address everytime you connect to the server.
while connected, go to the command prompt and type ipconfig and it will display the IP address you are useing at the moment. the next time you make a connection, the IP address may be differant, but you can check it each time to see if it is the same. |

Can't help you any further without a manual, and Webramp appears to have disappeared. Not hard to see why you got a steal on it. Operating blind here - but you have to get into the router admin somehow and make sure the DHCP server is running. The only 56k router I've ever worked with is a 3Com and it had a web interface like broadband routers.

Good find.
Looks to me like the default settings should work - the DHCP range is the entire 192.168.1.x subnet. Win2K boxes should work fine by simply running INETWIZ and going through the connect by LAN options - assuming your NIC drivers are properly installed. You do not have to install any software. |

Also Is 10baseT the same as cat 5 ? |

Not worth the trouble - just order premade cables from Newegg or Directron.

At new egg look for cables.
Opt to view the hardware by type. You'll get a huge list of all the different types of hardware (cpu, case, motherboard, etc.). Then just look for cables. There used to be a heading for cables/routers. I haven't been to the site in a while though... it may have changed. Could try a search for ethernet cables or just put in cat5. Either should pull up the cables you need. |

That's a standard onboard ethernet adapter, it will work fine with that router.
