I just got a new Xbox today, and use the integrated WiFi card. I was lagging like Crysis 2 on a 6800 GT (forget it). I just got a CAT .5 cable, and plugged it into modem/xbox and IDK... it works, I'm online, but basically my question is:Does ethernet connections have less ping (better) than wireless connections? This is with the Xbox 360 Slim. I know it improves upload, and download, but what about ping?
View 2 RepliesI know serial interfaces are called that because they put bits on the wire serially - i.e. one bit at a time. If that's the case for serial interfaces, how do other kinds of interfaces, such as Ethernet interfaces, put bits on the wire? Do they somehow put more than one bit on the wire at a time? I assume it's a faster process, but how so?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI own a Cisco 892W router. The router has 2 WAN ports and 8 switch ports. Now I know -
-WAN ports can create sub interfaces, assigne IPs, cannot be assigned to a VLAN - sounds very much like a routing port. (sh interface gives - Hardware is PQII_PRO_UEC)
-Switch ports are for VLAN assignment, trunking, IP assigment etc,. (sh interface gives Hardware is Fast Ethernet)
I know they are different but at the same time confuced what the difference are? I also know on some 3xxx series switchs you could say "no switchport" and translate a switch port to a layer 3 port. But on 892W you can't do this? Struggeling to understand the difference.
A friend recently re-installed windows XP on their HP Laptop. They were connected wirelessly with a Linsys router (model wrt54g.1) and an RCA Cable Modem. The Cable ISP can ping the modem and gave me the IP address over the phone. I cannot ping the modem even when I take the router out of the loop. The network card (i1394) in the Laptop is functioning normally and I can see traffic on the modem (both the Cable Internet light and the PC activity light are flashing green) the ethernet port on the laptop is also flashing (amber). However I cannot reach the internet and cannot even ping the modem. The modem is brand new..
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with my Realtek RTL8168D/8111D PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC. It is not detecting my ethernet cable, and thus leaving me without internet on my desktop, after i updated its driver. The cable is not the problem as I have tested the cable with my laptop. I tried rolling back drivers, doing system restore and removing drivers with driversweeper and letting windows install the drivers again. However, none of these worked for me. I doubt the NIC is faulty as it was working before i updated the drivers. I am using windows 7 home premium 64-bit.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI curently have 2 Data centers connected with a Metro Ethernet Connection. Each Data Center has 6500 with Sup720s. The Metro Ethernet connection is currently conected by a L3 routed interface. I now need to enable VRFs between the locations and want to determine the best way to adjust the Mero. I was considering adjusting the routed interface to use Ethernet sub-interfaces. Each VRF would be given a different subinterface over the Metro Ethernet connection. I have done this on internal LAN connections but am concerned about exteding across data centers over Metro E.

I bought new Lenovo IdeaCentre H430 pc and I'm having problem with high pings. Windows 7 with on-board realtek NIC. Fresh install, fully updated, drivers installed from included CD. When I start pinging router (direct 1Gb ethernet connection, 1 hop), pings start at <1ms (which is fine) and after a while they jump to 300-1000ms.
I loaded up live ubuntu to test if the problem might be in HW. It's not, in ubuntu pings were always <1ms.I also noticed that when I start using connection somehow, pings go down to 1ms, but go back up when I stop using it (tested by accessing live camera feed on LAN).
Power Options set to max performance. I disabled Interrupt Moderation on the NIC, didn't work.I tested it in the safe mode with networking, same problem there.
It slows down our client-server based programs, what's causing it. All I could google up was that disabling Interrupt Moderation would work, it didn't though.Computer is giving high pings to router when idle and normal pings when network is under load, it slows down our software significantly.
I have a Dell XPS M1530 with Vista 32 bit. When i plug in a cable i get nothing, no error, and the comp does not recognize that a cable has been plugged in. I think that this started after my Hard drive failed and Dell replaced it but i'm not positive. No errors (? or !) in Device Manager and I can't find the Marvell 88E80XX 10/100 Ethernet Controller in device manager. I have attempted to Reinstall the drivers. The wireless is still working. I have one Light to the right of the port that is on all the time solid but no flashing with the cable in or out.

UserNetwork - ASA5550 - WAN Router 2911 - ISP Netowrk - Branch Routers 877s / 1941s
Since last week we started noticing this problem that the branch users started to complain of slow application response.. After verifying it with the ISP and middle network we noticed that if i ping from my machine (ie usernetwork) to the WAN Router interface (facing the ASA) , i get time outs.. which is strange cause this is directly connected to it via ethernet cable.

To each location we currently have fiber for data (1Gbps) and fiber to transport our TV channels. Am am looking for a device that can take in our TV channels on coax and give me an rj45 ethernet connection so I can plug the unit into a data switch to use our data fiber for everything (if I need 10 units at the central site to do this, that is fine).taking the ethernet back to coax to distribute TV to all of the TVs in the building. This would eliminate me 10 point to point fiber links.

I successfully set a static ip address for my ethernet card for remote access. i tested my remote access form a different device and it works. I then tried to set a static ip address for my wireless card which resulted in an error message. I first tried to give the wireless card the same ip address as the ethernet(i only use ethernet or wireless, never both running at same time). it wouldnt work. then i tried to give it a different but usable ip address. it didnt work. i also used the same gateway and dns addresses. this is the error message im getting?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I'm going to college soon and for some odd reason, they are only giving us an ethernet cable in our dorm rooms.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI got a device (Airave) from my wireless phone carrier (Sprint) that's supposed to boost the Sprint signal that I get in the house (I get no signal inside at all).The Airave is supposed to plug in directly to the DSL modem. The problem is that I only have one outlet on the back of the DSL modem (an older unit, provided by Windstream).Before I screwed it up it was set up as follows: DSL Modem>Linksys Wireless Router>and then connected to the Linksys via ethernet were a desktop computer and a hardwired older Buffalo wireless router (to extend the wireless network), and various wireless devices as needed (smart phones, laptops, Kindle, etc.). So, I purchased an ethernet router (not a switch) to connect to the DSL modem to give me more ports. (There are also 2 LAN ports on the back of the Airave, unused for now.) The current order of devices is DSL Modem>ethernet router>and coming out of the ethernet router are the desktop computer, the wireless router, the Airave, and a spare ethernet cable to hook up to the laptop since the wireless isn't available.
And now the wireless is not working. Everything plugged into the ethernet router works, I can get out to the Web, if I'm hard-wired.So, two questions, really:
1. should I have gotten a switch, and
2. if not, what order should these items be connected to each other? Both the Linksys wireless router and the ethernet router have the same IP address--which may be significant as well.
I have an older desktop computer that I am trying to set up in my detached garage.It is only ethernet compatable. I have a wireless network in my house that my laptop is wirelessly connected to. I purchased a Linksys WET11 v2 wireless bridge. It is my understanding that this bridge will take the wireless signal and convert it to wired, but it is not working. When the bridge is connected to the old desktop, my LAN is active but I can't connect to the internet.

I have also connected all my other ethernet devices to the router so I don't have to keep unplugging them and replacing the ethernet cable in the wall socket. I can connect to the internet through the router but it's only allowing one device to be connected at once and the router is saying "no connection" even though I can connect through it. does this mean it's working as a switch at the moment, right? Would it be possible to make it work as a router so all my devices can work simultaneously and get the wifi to work?
