D-link Hub

[Wilse]

Hallo,

I have the chance to acquire a D-link, DFE916DX dual speed ethernet hub, completely free.

Thing is, me being the dufus that I am, I've no idea what I'd do with it.
I have a Pagasos, A1, PC and A1200 - would this be of use for netwrking them?
Or any other suggestions?

Cheers guys,

Well, what you'd wanna do is stick network cards in all of your comps and plug all those networks cards in the hub...

Hey presto! A LAN :-).

OK! I believe the peg already has built in ethernet/networking?

Also, my ex-g/f has a spare PCI ethernet card from her PC, which she says I can have - that could go in the A1 or PC, I guess.

The A1200 will have to remain alone, I guess (no PCI).

even this one is connectable ;-)
you can use a pcmcia card for connecting the 1200 to the hub. search the forum for further information. (afaik it's called cnet.device)

The AmigaONE has onboard ethernet, as well.

I have a D-Link 614+ Broadband router attached to my A1 and A1200 and my broadband modem.

Works like a charm  :-)

You can get a fairly inexpensive NE2000  compatible pcmcia ethernet card for it. I use a TrendNet 210CT that works flawlessly with cnet.device. Check the docs for cnet.device, they have a list of cards known to work.

Argh, you posted while I was typing this reply.  :-)

Thanks everyone.

I've found this thread, which seems to  cover it pretty well.

Cheers,
