I think I'm clear on what you're asking. Answer: no. As long as your hub (whether it 'switches' or not) isn't plugged into your 10Mbps NIC, it's not going to slow you down. If you have a NIC plugged straight into your internet connection (router), and a second NIC (100Mbps) hooked to the hub, you're fine. Look at it as though the hub that slows things down, not the NIC or the computers. That's not precise, but it's a good description. Dave On Thursday 30 August 2001 18:07, Ricardo Rodriguez wrote:
yes but what if my 10mbp is providing connection to the router that is the one providing to my internal network. Does that really reflect in the performance of my internal network internet access??
IPS --- 100<LinuxBox>10 --- ROUTER (Linksys) --- NetW
so, my ISP is sending me something at 100 that is going trough my linux box and it decrease to 10, so are all my computers after the router accessing at 10?
That may be a bad assumption or a stupid question for must of you but all this is new for me.....
Thnx.

Hi Tor,
Most 10/100 hubs these days are, in effect, two
hubs and a 2-port
switch. Ports 'auto switch' to either the 10Mbps
segment or the 100Mbps
segment. Inter-segment traffic is decided by MAC
address 'learning'
So... if two 100Mbps devices are communicating -
they are on the same
segment, and will communicate at 100Mbps.
Similarly for two 10Mbps
devices. The whole only drops to 10Mbps with
cross-segment 10-100 traffic.
At least somebody believes me for a change.
I hope that makes sense.
And BTW - full duplex is 100Mbps TX AND 100Mbps RX
simultaneously.
Like I can learn much from the side of a D-Link box. ;-)
