What the purpose for having a dual gigabit LAN would be? That is, having two LAN ports on your motherboard as I saw in a new MSI P67 model. I can see it for sharing your LAN through your computer if you don't have access to the router.

I just finished wiring my gigabit network. It's important to note that I DO NOT know what the cables look like inside the wall; I did not run them myself and only terminated the wall plates and patch cables.
Network looks like this, all 1gbps links: WAN to WNDR4000 router Port 1 on the WNDR4000 goes to Desktop, port 2 goes to Windows Home server,When I initiate a Desktop -> Server transfer from the Desktop, I get 106 megabytes per second transfer rate.
When I initiate a Server -> Desktop transfer from the Desktop, I get 21 Megabytes per second.
When I initiate a Desktop -> Server transfer from the Server, I get 80 megabytes per second.
When I initiate a Server -> Desktop transfer from the Server, I get a 80 megabytes per second.
Shouldn't it be the same regardless of which machine requests the transfer? The really weird thing is the Desktop only pulling 21 Megabytes per second from Desktop initiates transfers, whereas if I remote into the server and initiate the EXACT SAME transfer from there, it jumps to 80 megabytes per second. This makes no sense as they should use the same wires.....
I have setup an Asus RT n16 with 3 computers that support gigabit ethernet and a media server on one floor. On the other floor I have set up a fast ethernet switch (connected to my asus router) which is connected to several fast ethernet enabled computers.
Would the fast ethernet devices slow down the entire gigabit networking to 100mbps connections on my floor - similar to how a wireless n network running at 300mpbs must slow down to 54mbps when a wireless g device is connected to it?
I am currently looking to upgrade and extend my home network with preference to dual band and gigabit functionality. My problem is choosing the correct hardware.I want dual band to separate the network for the kids (a PC, laptop, Xbox 360 and phones all wireless) and set up parental controls and maintain connection speeds etc. For my needs I need the network to be connected to my Onkyo AV Amp (for internet radio and music streaming only), Blu-ray Player, Sky HD satellite box (all wired) and a PS3 (pref wired) and a few wireless devices all N capable. Apart from the obvious gaming capability I would like to be able to stream HD video to the PS3, PC (wired) and laptops via a USB HDD connected for now on an access point or modem router to save on the cost of having separate networked devices.
I currently have ADSL so I was looking to get a dual band gigabit modem router to serve the kids wireless hardware whilst my current hardware is on another floor and is connected with a wire from the existing modem but I have to keep swapping it from PS3 to amp etc.In short I am hoping to have a gigabit, dual band ADSL modem router and connect to a gigabit access point (with dual band if possible) via the cable I have sent to the other floor to wire up the 4 devices. I've currently been looking at Netgear and Buffalo solutions as I've had problems with Linksys and Belkin routers in the past. Would this be possible with just 2 devices (modem router and access point) whilst maintaining decent speeds and if so can someone shed some light as to what I should get.
Is it possible to configure the RV042G so that one WAN port is connected to an ISP with a static IP and the other to an ISP with a dynamic IP. Then, I would like to setup a VPN tunnel and use the static IP for that and have all the other internet traffic go through the dynamic IP.
I know I could set it up with the static IP as the primary and the dynamic as the backup. Then, if I lost connectivity on the static IP, I would still have internet access, only the VPN tunnel would be down.
I'm building my own home server based on Ubuntu with 4 drives in RAID 10. Its primary purpose will be NAS and backup.Would I be making a terrible mistake by building a NAS Server with a single Gigabit NIC?
I know the absolute max I can get out of a single Gigabit port is 125MB/s, and I want this NAS to be able to handle up to 6 computers accessing files simultaneously, with up to two of them streaming video.
With Ubuntu NIC-bonding and the performance of RAID 10, I can theoretically double my throughput and achieve 250MB/s (ok, not really, but it would be faster). The drives have an average read throughput of 83.87MB/s according to Tom's Hardware.
The unit itself will be based on the Chenbro ES34069-BK-180 case. With my current hardware choices, it'll have this motherboard with a Core i3 CPU and 8GB of RAM. Overkill, I know, but this server will be doing other things as well (like transcoding video).Unfortunately, the only Mini-ITX boards I can find with dual-gigabit and 6 SATA ports are Intel Atom-based, and I need more processing power than an Atom has to offer.
I would love to find a board with 6 SATA ports and two Gigabit LAN ports that supports a Core i3 CPU. So far, my search has come up empty. Thus, my dilemma.Should I hold out for such a board, go with an Atom-based solution, or stick with my current single-gigabit configuration?
I know there are consumer NAS units with just one gigabit interface (probably most of them), but I think I will demand a lot more from my server than the average home user.

View 1 Replies View Relatedreliability of the ET dual port server adapter. I have a Windows Server 2012 hyper-v host thats used to run all of the vm's I use in my house on an ASUS P9X79 WS motherboard. The board comes with 2 Intel gigabit nic's, one of which is an Intel server nic. Ever since installing Server 2012 it only registers one onboard adapter for use and the other isn't. Because of this I am planning on getting a second server grade network adapter for the vm's to use and have the onboard dedicated to management only. The only thing currently holding me back is if the OS will properly detect and run the network card in a non-server motherboard? Any insight as to if it will work on my board or not? Google has only revealed uses on server boards and not workstations.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a Netgear N600 WNDR3700v1 Dual Band Gigabit router and am having a problem with the wired connection with my PC. Everything wireless in the house works fine. In fact, I also have a Direct TV box hooked up for on demand and a sling box hooked up (both wired) and they work find. It's just my PC that is having issues. If I bypass the router and hook straight into the modem, it runs fine also so I have something going on between the router and this PC. I updated the NIC driver and this did not work. Before the update in the device manager, it said it was a NIVIDA nForce Network Controller (if I remember right) and now it says NIVIDA nForce 10/100 Mpbs Ethernet. It was suggested that I change my speed and duplex to match the router after I update but I am unsure what to change it to.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running an Optiplex 330 with the Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit ethernet card.
The computer is running Windows 7, 64bit, but there do not appear to be any drivers for that OS.I tried selecting Vista 64bit, but there were no drivers. The Vista 32bit doesn't work.
Then I went to Broadcom and found these drivers: [URL] the W764bit drivers didn't change the fact i'm still on a 100Mbit card (as seen on Local Area Connection Status screen and the Device manager)
I recently installed a very basic version of XP on my old laptop (Gateway MT3707).After hours of searching for the correct drivers, I found them, and installed them. After installing the correct drivers for wireless internet I was able to pull up the list and find my network on it.When double clicking on our wireless network it asks for a network key (also called WEP key or WPA key).Now we have a password for our network, but after an exhausting amount of tries that won't work. I not sure if that is what its looking for. In our apartment we run mac OSX, windows vista, etc., but usually the password for the network is satisfactory. I have never ran into this problem.I hate to be a noob, but I don't know where to go from here.

What I was thinking is to run vpc between the 2 Nexus in the aggregation layer and between the 2 Nexus in the core layer. Than I was thinking of connecting each Nexus in the aggragtion layer to both Nexus in the core layer using port-channel and vice-versa.
View 3 Replies View Relatedhow to change our wireless setup. Currently, we have 2 Cisco AiroNet 1130 WAP's in the office that go directly into the 2 POE ports on our Cisco ASA 5500. These WAP's have 1 SSID and are using WEP for security. After demonstrating the flaws of WEP to my boss, he has agreed that we should use something more secure and I've suggested WPA. We want visitors to our office to be able to hop on our wireless but on a separate guest SSID with WEP.
I'd like the internal SSID to route to the ASA and take the default route to the internet (it will be our new fiber connection once it's installed in a couple weeks). The default route is whichever connection is working since our ASA 5500 will fail over when it detects an outage.
I'd like the guest SSID to route to the ASA and then go over our existing cable connection. This connection will be our backup once the fiber connection is installed. Since we won't be using it very often, but will be paying for it, I advised that we send all guest wireless traffic over this connection since 50/5 is plenty for guests.
The current SSID (which will be the internal SSID) has no VLAN. We do currently have a few VLANS on our network, one for voice (.42) and one for data (.100) and the default (.0). What device to I create the VLAN on (Cisco 5500?) and how to I setup the WAP? I need very basic instructions to start and I'm also trying to do this without causing downtime if possible.
I've attached a diagram of what it should look like. Red indicates our internal network and Blue indicates the guest network. I can send screenshots as well.
I wanted to ask a question about the diagram I have included. We are bringing up 2 MPLS WAN connections and would like some specifics on the best design. We are using BGP to the providers. From there we have big questions. We can run BGP internal and are licensed to do so on the N5K's. The N5Ks are currently using HSRP for inside LAN clients as default gateway. We want to load balance and provide redundant routes using a dynamic approach. Should we use BGP internal utilizing the connections between the routers? Should we use HSRP on the routers? How best to get the routes to the N5K and should we be considering this?

Having some serious problems on the networking front here at home. I have 3 PC's and 2 Xbox's that run constantly. Our Internet bandwidth is Insight's 50.0 which is 50Mb download speed 5Mb upload speed. The problem we're having is this. Ever since we upgraded from dual 20Mb lines on a Cisco RV042 to a 50Mb on a DIR-655 we've been having latency issues. I have everything turned off in the router. It's basically there to give out IP numbers and thats it. All security is handled from the PC's themselves. Bandwidth tests are fine, I sustain download speeds above 7MB/s using download managers. But pings are terrible. Xbox live is terrible, PC online gaming is terrible. Pingtest.com is terrible. Only when behind routers. I've tried it behind 3 seperate routers. The DIR-655, the Belkin f5d8236 that insight provided me, and the cisco rv042 originally used for dual wan routing. all of which are met with serious failure.
If I plug directly in to the modem pings are fine. Add a router and pings go to shit.
Should a computer running XP be able to use ICS to share its internet connection across a gigabit network to a computer with a Fast Ethernet card running Vista? If so, I have a problem and will post a more detailed question.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently built a PC with an ASUS P8P67 mobo that uses the Realtek 8111E Gigabit LAN Controller. My issue is that it won't even open a connection to the internet when I plug the ethernet cable from the motorola SB6120 into the port on the mobo.What's odd is if I keep the cable modem plugged into my D-Link Di-624 wireless router and then just use the LAN ports on the back to route an ethernet cable to my mobo, all works just fine. But I am sure this is at the expense of a slower connection speed through that old router right?The modem turns the LINK light BLUE, seeming to indicate a gigabit connection if the above router-skipping connection is used, but still there's no connection to the internet.

I assume I have done everything correctly but am not getting any speed increase when transferring files (in fact it has dropped a little) I currently get about 7.5mbps between my computer and my server. All are wired connections.I have the modem/router connected to the Gigabit switch and the switch is connected to my server and a PC. Slight complication is I use 200mb homeplugs to connect from the switch to the PC, the server is connected straight to the switch, also I am waiting on some cat6 cables I've orrdered I have no idea what I'm using...
for the best dollar spent what is the best 48 port gigabit switch i could buy for a home network?
View 1 Replies View RelatedDIR-655 Firmware: 2.00NA (most recent) Hardware Version: B1 I am not getting Gigabit LAN wired. I am only averaging 25% of that, which means 256mbps or 32MBps. note the following:
- Router only connected to two computers (wired), wireless turned off
- Cable length does not exceed maximum specified length of 100 meters (328 feet). Neither does it exceed the usual maximum length of 100 feet. (both ends)
- Cable is CAT 5e (both ends) allowing Gigabit speeds
- NICs on both computer are able to run at Gigabit
- Both computers recognize the Gigabit connection speed
- Sustained Hard drive speeds are rated at 101.9MBps and 86.6MBps or 815.2mbps and 692.8mbps (therefore, connections should run at least 692.8mbps or 69% usage)
- Minimal programs were running in the background (in fact, almost nothing except for the OS itself)
- Windows 7 on both computers
- Later, I ran a streaming of a file and transferring files over the network, the speed still remained around 25% usage, which means there's isn't a cap of network usage per program. (is there usually a cap?)
Things I don't want to hear:
- Cat 5e doesn't support gigabit
- Check cable has 8 cables instead of 4 (it has
- CPU not good enough (it's plenty fast for copying files, quad and hex core)
- Not enough RAM (plenty of that too, I don't know how much role RAM plays in transferring files over the network)
if there's a way to upgrade my ASA5505 to support gigE without spending an arm and a leg for an ASA 5510?
