Can I use a USB to Ethernet adapter to connect the USB modem to my network?

thinkbroadband :: Broadband FAQ
With the current adapters you cant, the USB modem is the DSL equivalent of a WinModem and requires some processor power to perform the modem functions and convert the ATM data into TCP/IP for presentation to the PC. There is a Draytek device however which can effetively act as a router and presents ethernet to the user side. See details here.

Can I use the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter with a dsl or cable modem?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but you would have to implement the equivalent of Echelon's xDriver software. The best choice for using the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter without LNS is to use Echelon's OpenLDV driver. It is available free of charge at www.echelon.com/openLDV. Yes, though the algorithm differs from the i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP Server. This question is usually asked when trying to figure out how much bandwidth an i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter might consume on an Ethernet segment. For example, if the i. See similar questions...

I have a modem that I use for e-mail at home. Should I get an Ethernet adapter?

IIT Documentation - Resnet FAQ
Ethernet connection is up to 100 times faster than a modem connection and allows access to printers and fileservers, unlike a modem. Also, you would have to obtain an outside Internet System Provider (ISP) at a cost. With a modem connection you have to wait for an open modem line; with an Ethernet connection the network is always there for you to use, and it doesn't tie up your phone line. Ethernet Adapter: (or "Ethernet card"): Also called a network interface card (NIC). See similar questions...

Does it matter is if use the USB or Ethernet port on the modem ?

About Lightning DSL Service - DSL FAQ=-
Some DSL modems carry USB capability. This is useful alternative in instances where a network card cannot be installed. Please note that you cannot use the USB port of a usb HUB to extend the wire length between your modem and PC, or share the access to multiple systems. You can use the USB and Ethernet ports at the same time to facilitate access on two machines provided the advanced modem routing features are enabled. See similar questions...

Can I use the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter with a wireless network?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions

Which Interface do I use (USB, LPT, Ethernet)?

Large Format CAD and Graphic Solutions
If you are connecting directly to one PC, under windows 98SE, 2000 or XP, either Parallel or USB is usually fine. However, the way XP handles USB devices may cause you to lose the device occasionally. This is because XP assigns virtual USB ports to multiple devices on the same USB bus. If the plotter is switched off or disconnected when the PC is booted up, it may be found later as a new device on a different virtual port, and the driver may need to be installed again.

If my power adapter is blown, can I use a third party adapter to power up my modem ?

About Lightning DSL Service - DSL FAQ=-
Absolutely not. The performance of your DSL modem is closely dependent on using the manufacturer's recommended power source. Using a generic or repaired adapter will adversely affect the DSL signal and could damage the electronics in your modem. If your modem or DSL appliance fails to power up and you believe that the adapter has damaged, please immediately contact our technical team for assistance. See similar questions...

What do you recommend we have installed for use in our Ethernet network?

Frequently Asked Questions
At this time we would recommend the certified Cat 5e or the special Cat 5 ENH offered by the manufacturer we use. We feel these cables offer the security of conforming to a ratified standard, while also leaving the needed room for growth towards Gigabit Ethernet applications. Having Cat 5/5e installed for both your data and phones offers you the flexibility to use your phone jacks as network jacks in the future (assuming you have the cables terminated onto a patch panel). See similar questions...

Can I use the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter with a dial-up (telephone) connection?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter (version 2.x and higher, available from April 2004) supports an external modem attached to its serial port. When used with an external modem, the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter uses PPP as the serial protocol. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter version 1.x does not support PPP. See similar questions...

How can I connect more than two Ethernet products?

PC/104 Embedded Systems FAQ, EBX, Linux, Real Time, data acq...
PC/104 systems with multiple processors or peripherals that have Ethernet interfaces can use a PC/104 Ethernet switch or hub board to be networked together. Fast Ethernet and 10BaseT switches or hubs are available with auto-MDI-MDIX network installation and up to five auto-configurable 10/100 transceiver ports. Ethernet connections are made through either onboard RJ-45 jacks or via right-angle Molex connectors that can be used to mount RJ-45 jacks in a faceplate, endcap or enclosure.

D.19 Okay, so can I connect my PC to an Ethernet network and run AUN?

The comp.sys.acorn.networking FAQ
Again no (though see earlier sections for other ways to share files between PCs and Acorn machines). Work is ongoing to add support for AUN to Linux, both over Ethernet and (when running on suitable hardware) native Econet, but there is no usable implementation yet. All Acorn computers since the Master have had their Econet station number stored in the first byte of CMOS RAM. If the battery goes flat, or you reset the CMOS RAM, it will get cleared to zero - this isn't a legal station number. See similar questions...
