RG-62 cable going from one connector on the hub to one machine. Typically the card in the machine will have a jumper on board to enable/disable termination for that card/cable segment.

(F8-6) If not, then you need to fix that first. If you do, then there is something in Win95's networking section of the control panel. I don't have any experience with NWLite...but I know it works with a standard NW client using vlm's. Make sure you have full network capability under dos! --- Join PsychicNet Now! * Origin: Psychic Voyages - I know what you're thinking!

While the software interface for sending and receiving Ethernet frames is well standardized for NE2000 cards, the software interface for configuring the cards is specific to each manufacturer. The original NE2000 was hardware configurable with jumpers, so this prevented any standard software configuration system being adopted by the numerous clones of it. You need the disks which were supplied with the card originally by its manufacturer. -- Mike --- * Origin: N1BEE BBS +1 401 944 8498 V.34/V.FC/V.32bis/HST16.8 (1:323/107)
