I would recommend the Skylink 8 Port switch... relatively inexpensive, and very fast (does 10/100,. and keeps track of 100 or 10 separately) for the money for a wired network.
I'd suggest buying a gigabit switch to cover future upgrades. My 2-yr old Asus MB interface is gig, and a gig card in the kids computer was very inexpensive...and blazing fast! I have the 5-port Linksys EG005W, and it handles /10 (HP Laserjet printer) /100 (2 laptops) &/1000 (2 pc's) flawlessly. But definately toss the hub! Tom
Thanks for the suggestion, there is no question that the hardware will be changed. But I am curious why only my suse operation gets hit. Even the vmware virtual network card vmnet1, which is mapped to eth0 manages to pull and push its packets cleanly thru eth0! I think i will install a linux virtual machine before i switch, just curious if the packets see the difference!!! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
