| 291666 | 2004-11-14 05:36:00 | Ok this is my situation, My pc is my room. hub and modem is about 15ms away, so i have a long cable. now i want to network my ps2. but i don't have another long cable. Can i stick 2 network cards in my pc, one card to the hub and one card to the ps2? will it work? | Rpg_pro (5689) | ||
| 291667 | 2004-11-14 05:57:00 | Buy another cable. | ninja (1671) | ||
| 291668 | 2004-11-14 06:01:00 | If you have a hub then you simply need another cable as the previous post says. How many ports are there on the hub? | Big John (551) | ||
| 291669 | 2004-11-14 06:05:00 | Ethernet actually only uses 4 of the 8 wires in the cable. You could put 2 plugs on each end of the cable, so u can run your PS2 and your PC on the same cable. Bletch |

| 291670 | 2004-11-14 06:05:00 | Yes, you can - But only WinXP makes "bridging" network cards easy. Yes though - It is possible, and not hard to do. The cheap $12 ones from DSE work well! |

| 291671 | 2004-11-14 06:07:00 | 10M/bit perhaps..... But that's just cause for hassle..... ;-) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 291672 | 2004-11-14 06:10:00 | all im saying is will the 2 network cards work.... cause i have a pile of network cards and 3m cables, and dont really want to buy another cable | Rpg_pro (5689) | ||
| 291673 | 2004-11-14 06:12:00 | ok thanks Chilling_Silence | Rpg_pro (5689) | ||
| 291674 | 2004-11-14 06:13:00 | No, you can run 100MBit down 4 wires. I bought a cable wired exactly like it the other day. 4 wires, 100MBit/s. Bletch |
