RE: RE: RE: [SLE] Cable Modem Speed

Thanks. Just trying to understand what it happening now that I have figured out how to make sure all the NIC's are running @ 100mbps. Best regards, Keith B. "Joseph Hobbs" wrote:

Like Alexey said, you are getting exactly what you need. With a switch installed, you should still be getting 100Mbps between your machines. Since the cable modem can't do 10Mbps on its external interface, 100Mbps internal connection would be overkill. Like feeding a 10 lane highway off of a single 1 lane road :-)

I don't. Just want to be sure I am getting what I paid for. I have a switch, but I have uplinked a BNC/RJ45 10BaseT hub due to physical layout of my house. I know, it is suggested to put the cable into the uplink, then run it to the router PC.

Why do you need more? Maximum speed the modems can do is 6Mb. 10BaseT is just enough. If it affects you in any way, install a hardware switch/NAT firewall just after the modem.

Hello All,

This probably a dumb question, but here goes:

Do all cable modems run @ 10Base-T or are there some that run @ 100baseTx FD? I have a home net of 10/100 NIC card PC's, but jsut noticed that my cable modem is only rated @ 10Base-T. Am I wasting the 100 mbps speed since my cable modem is only 10BaseT? My SuSE router PC has 2 NIC, one LNE100TX that uses the tulip driver and a rtl8139-based NIC. The LNE100TX is con- nected to the cable modem, will run @ 100 mbps, but goes to 10BaseT due to the modem. Then rtl8139 connects to the home lan via 10/100 N-WAY switch and happily churns along @ 100 mbps.

If there are any, any economical recommendations for faster cable modem that will work under Linux? (I currently have a Toshiba PCX1000 -nonUSB)

Best Regards,

Keith B.
