cable internet question

[MisterCMK]

Hubs are not intelligent either. They just broadcast the packets across the entire network.

hub < switch

[PSiedTSi]

Right. So who's side are you on?

[MisterCMK]

Well, I think I'm gonna be on your side this time.

Router > Switch > Hub

Maybe im just not explaining it good enough. I 100% agree with you.

Enough of this battle

I cant explain worht a shit. never have, never care to

[PSiedTSi]

The router in your house has a switch built in. A router is more or less a bridge, but with advanced features.

Switch = Multiport Bridge

Router = Advanced Switch

Angel is trying to say that if you take 24 mbps into a 4 port hub, the max of each port is only 6 mps, regardless of whats running off the other slots. a router will only deliver is to what is using the connection... Either way I don't think thats Mike's problem. No idea what it is to tell you the truth. Just use a different wireless connection, like a neighbors, if you can.

[PSiedTSi]

That is not true either Joel.

for a hub, it is true.

[weshole]

I got an idea. Magically break the Xbox, steal it, or just steal the power chord.

No, it is not.

Quoted from Webopedia:

"When a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets."

AKA what i was describing

[PSiedTSi]

Yeah, how does that equal the connection being divided?

Ok, enough whoring this thread. Either you need to learn how to explain what you are saying or you really need to go back to school.

Nope. You were not describing that at all.

You need to implement some QoS (Quality-of-Service) rules using your router. Most modern routers have this functionality accessible via their Administration interface. Specifically the very very common Linksys WRT54G allows QoS rules based on device. Using this you can place your own machine on high priority and the Xbox on low. Will do what you want.

Ok...each port has the POTENTIAL of seeing the full bandwidth coming in. However, as soon a port 1 is using say 1.5 Mb on a 3Mb connection all that is remaining for available bandwidth on any of the remaining ports is 1.5Mb. In this case, if the xbox is sucking up 2.9Mb all that remains for the other ports is .1Mb

As for the Cat5 cord, I can hook you up with that shell....I've probably got a couple laying around my house right now that you can have for little or nothing
